    Hi Dynan,


    Yes we have detection of Vonteera in our engines. Also Malwarebytes kind of exaggerated the importance of moving the certificates to untrusted. To quote one of my colleguages Bogdan Botezatu:


    Fortunately, this blacklisting of vendor certificates is only partially effective. The technique only prevents new product installations or the execution of stand-alone removal tools that need administrator privileges. System drivers and services created by antivirus products that are already running would not be affected.
