[QUOTE="TairikuOkami, post: 1034740, member: 61892"] No. What OP is referring to is a hash signature, every file has it. If the hash is the same, it proves that the file was not altered, but not really, who made it. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.howtogeek.com/67241/htg-explains-what-are-md5-sha-1-hashes-and-how-do-i-check-them[/URL] Digital signature verifies, if the file was signed with the proper certificate authority like TLS on webpages and as such proves that the file is genuine even without a file hash. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.digicert.com/faq/code-signing-trust/what-is-code-signing[/URL] The file from the glasswire does not have a digital signature at all compared to the one on softpedia and it will not run on my system, it is unsigned, like Smart App Control checks.
