Synei - 1.2% Detection Rate *

Did you just download a file that is digitally signed by Synei and wonder if the file is safe? If so, please read on.

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

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 Synei and that no one has tampered with the file.

If you click the View Certificate button shown in the screencap above, you can see all the details of the certificate, such as when it was issued, who issued the certificate, how long it is valid, etc. You can also see the address for Synei, such as the street name, city and country.

COMODO RSA Code Signing CA and COMODO Code Signing CA 2 has issued the Synei certificates. You can also see the details of the issuer by clicking the View Certificate button shown in the screenshot above.
