The digital signature of tweaking_rati.exe, is invalid?

Hi again, Boggin!
Thank you for the prompt and suggestive reply! :smiley:
I have downloaded Process Explorer, clicked on Options to ensure Verify Signature is checked and then hovered over VirusTotal.com to check its box, and ran Windows Repair (Repair_Windows.exe), but Virus Total.com does not snag anything then either.
And as such, no verified signature or rating for me either.

However, when I try to run tweaking_rati.exe, it does not even start at all.

It is funny however, that right-clicking tweaking_rati.exe and looking at its Digital Signature properties, does not list any error.
Luckily though, I do not have any specifical need to run WR as TrustedInstaller.
So I guess this is not really a cause for concern.
And, once again; Thank you very much for the help! :smiley:

This is why it is advised to run WR in Safe Mode so the any AV program doesn't interfere.
I assume WR does start for you in Safe Mode ?
How exactly are you starting WR ?
While an AV program can see a program that works in the registry as a threat, I would think it is unusual that VirusTotal.com would also find it unsafe, but you may have to contact HitmanPro to have it whitelisted.
I'm wondering if once HitmanPro whitelist it whether VirusTotal.com would still snag it.....

So that file is used when running repairs as system account. You can't run the file by it self I think it needs specific arguments....and also because windows repair will call that file when necessary like say if you have to reset file permissions you will see a command prompt saying running repairs as system then if you open your task manager you will see that exe running.

Hi again, Boggin & Julian!
Thank you both for the prompt and clarifying replies! :smiley:
I am well aware of the recommendation to run WR in Safe Mode.
Yes, WR does start for me in Safe Mode.
The way I am starting WR, is in Normal Mode, which is every time and most of the time I use WR for one specific purpose only, that is to backup my registry and setting a system restore point before I for example install a program. However, occasionally I also start WR in Safe Mode only in order to run repairs.
IMO this is a reasonable interpretation of the above mentioned recommendation. :artist:
As goes for reporting this file to HitmanPro, I actually do not consider HitmanPro to be an AV per se, but if it were I would consider it.

Understood.

I think I've seen posts where MBAM has given a false positive on something before now which was then reported to MBAM and was corrected.
Given that HitmanPro is a paid for program, then you have the right for it to work properly.
I use Norton and now and again it and Windows Smartwall has blocked AdwCleaner from http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ then after a few days it will let it in.
HitmanPro may stop reporting the file as a threat as Norton did, but as long as nothing stops the program from working then I would ignore it.
