Lindersoft has teamed up with Sectigo (formerly Comodo, Inc.), a leading Certification Authority, to make OV & EV Code Signing and SSL certificates available to qualified Lindersoft customers at a discounted (inexpensive) price. And the best is you submit your order directly to Sectigo. For example, a Sectigo Code Signing Certificate is available for as little as $123 per year (on a three year term for an OV certificate).
When customers buy software in a store, the source of that software is obvious. When downloaded over the Internet, that same software is not so easy to trust. Any publisher planning to distribute code or content over the Internet risks their product being modified, impersonated and re-hosted by malicious third parties. Code signing certificates immediately inform customers that they can trust the software download by verifying code integrity and company legitimacy. With the increased level of operating system warnings, signing your application and installation files gives end users the reassurance they need to proceed with the installation.
