Issue
- You receive an error message about a corrupted/invalid signature after downloading ESET Live Installer
Figure 1-1
The signature is valid; however, due to a new policy introduced by Microsoft at the beginning of this year, files that have been signed with a SHA-1 code-signing certificate and that have been time-stamped with a value greater than January 1, 2016, will no longer be considered as "trusted".
Affected operating systems:
- Windows 7 and later
- Windows Server operating systems
Affected browsers:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer
- Microsoft Edge
Details
This security measure from Microsoft comes in response to recent attacks on the SHA-1 algorithm. For more details, please see the following article from Microsoft:
