*******How to Check for dangerous certificates on your PC*******

Dangerous root certificates are a serious problem. From Lenovo’s Superfish to Dell’s eDellRoot and a number of other certificates installed by adware programs, your computer’s manufacturer or a program you installed may have added a certificate that opens you to attack. Here’s how to check if your certificates are clean.

We will be using a tool called SIGCHECK that is apart of Microsoft sysinternals suite

Check out our sys internals videos on how to download it:

All you need to do is open up command prompt and navigate to the directory sys inter is located in and run sigcheck -tv

If you find a bad cert, open up control panel to manage your certs.

Removing them manually isn’t necessarily the best idea. If the certificate was installed by a program running on your computer, that program could just reinstall the certificate after you remove it. You really want to identify which program is causing the problem and get rid of that program entirely.

If you are still having issues after you uninstall the program, then removing manually may be the best. Be careful, though: don’t remove any legitimate certificates! The vast majority of the certificates here are legitimate and part of Windows itself. Be careful when removing certificates and be sure you’re removing the correct one.
