Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You have a computer that's running Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 8, Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.

  • You have antivirus software such as Kaspersky Antivirus software installed on the computer.

  • The antivirus software can check whether a file is digitally signed.

  • You receive a specifically crafted or damaged signed file through an email message, an Internet download, or by any other channel.


In this scenario, the antivirus program does not check whether the file is digitally signed, and then the program stops responding. After that, the computer is unprotected, and the antivirus software cannot be restarted, even manually.
