Do these system files have verified MS signatures?
I am using Process Explorer to verify file signatures on Windows XP
and the following Microsoft files are not verifying. This in spite of running Kaspersky AV and currently AVG svchost.exe winlogon.exe services.exe regedit.exe cmd.exe ctfmon.exe explorer.exe lsass.exe Does Microsoft supply verified signatures for these files? If they do why aren't the AV programs flagging them? /vfclists |

If they do why aren't the AV programs flagging them? MS does not necessarily sign all executables and drivers and the security companies generally know which ones. Unless your security software flags it as a threat I would not worry too much. Sometimes it may be a false positive by the security software. I do not know the answer for these particular .exe files. |

Open File Signature Verification 2. Click Advanced. 3. On the Search tab, click one of the following: • Notify me if any system files are not signed Checks only the Windows system files and all device driver files to see if they have a digital signature. • Look for other files that are not digitally signed Enables you to specify the file type and location of non-system files to check for a digital signature. 4.
