Secunia - 0.069% Detection Rate *

Did you just stumble upon a file that is digitally signed by Secunia? If that's the case, please read on.

You will probably notice Secunia when double-clicking to run the file. The publisher name is displayed as the "Verified publisher" in the UAC dialog as the screenshot shows:

You can also view the Secunia certificate with the following procedure:

1. Open Windows Explorer and locate the Secunia file
2. Right-click on the file and select Properties
3. Click on the Digital Signatures tab
4. Click the View Certificate button

Here is a screenshot of a file that has been signed by Secunia:

As you can see in the screenshot above, Windows states that "This digital signature is OK". This means that the file has been published by Secunia and that the file has not been tampered with.

If you click the View Certificate button shown in the screenshot above, you can examine all the details of the certificate, such as when it was issued, who issued the certificate, how long it is valid, and so on. You can also view the address for Secunia, such as the street name, city and country.

VeriSign Class 3 Code Signing 2009-2 CA and VeriSign Class 3 Code Signing 2010 CA has issued the Secunia certificates. You can also examine the details of the issuer by clicking the View Certificate button shown in the screenshot above.

Secunia Files

The following are the Secunia files I have gathered, thanks to the FreeFixer users.

The FreeFixer tool treats files from Secunia as safe, which means that the Secunia files will appear with a green background and that there's no removal checkbox for the file. However, as you can see in the scan results below, a few of the anti-virus scanners detects the Secunia file(s). I'm pretty sure those detections are false positives and that the files are safe. It is unlikely that Secunia would ship a malware file.

Scanner and Detection Names

Here's the detection names for the Secunia files. I've grouped the detection names by each scanner engine. Thanks to VirusTotal for the scan results.

As mentioned above, I think these detections are incorrect since it is very unlikely that Secunia would ship a malware file.

* How the Detection Percentage is Calculated

The detection percentage is based on the fact that I've collected 1449 scan results for the Secunia files. 1 of these scan reports came up with some sort of detection. You can review the full details of the scan results by examining the files listed above.
