How do we know? Our SpyShelter cybersecurity labs focuses on monitoring
different types of Windows PC executables and their behaviors for our popular
SpyShelter Antispyware software. Learn more about us, and how our cybersecurity
team studies Windows PC executables/processes.


WHAT DOES IT MEAN IF SOMEONE IS THE PUBLISHER OF A PC .EXE (EXECUTABLE OR
PROCESS)?

The publisher of an executable is the entity responsible for its distribution
and authenticity. Most processes/executables on your PC should be signed. The
signature on the executable should have been verified through a third party
whose job it is to make sure the entity is who it says it is. Find an unsigned
executable? You should consider scanning any completely unsigned .exe on your
PC.
