[QUOTE="RoboMan, post: 785923, member: 53544"] Signatures nowadays are BS. Everybody can get one. That's why anti-executables and antivirus with AC modules generate a trusted vendor list, which will work as a guarantee of which signed software can be run. Of course this doesn't cover when a trusted vendor gets hacked (such as Avast with CCleaner), and this could be avoided by not trusting any signature, wether it's a trusted vendor or not. Nevertheless, the CCleaner's kind of attack is unpredictable and will probably catch you. There's no way any software can prevent that. [/QUOTE]
