virustotal - File distributed by Microsoft Corporation

Post by protedt »

Hi,

When I scan the .exe file of Sandboxie Plus on VirusTotal, I see "File distributed by Microsoft Corporation" but I don't understand why this appear.

Is Microsoft reviewing each update of the software to know if the software is secure?

Is it a proof of the security of the entire code of sandboxie plus (no malware, no big breach etc.)?

Only the driver is signed directly by microsoft,
the rest of the files are signed by an austrian company

the signature validates that the files havn't been tempered with and are the originals i release
