NoVirusThanks Signer Extractor

As the name suggests, NoVirusThanks Signer Extractor is a lightweight application that enables you to grab the signer name as it is included in the executable file.

The application comes with a clean and user-friendly interface that comprises of two main sections. While in the upper area you can specify the file mask and the folder to be scanned, the largest portion of the GUI is dedicated to the list of signers.

On a side note, the app displays the list of signers as they are identified in real time, so if you are scanning a larger directory, such as Program Files, then you need to be patient for the app to finish the scan. You can preview the progress as well as the status for the scan – meaning the total number of signers and whether the analysis is in progress or completed – in the lower area.

The utility enables you to extract the signer from both installed applications as well as portable executable or PE files. Consequentially, it can also grab the data from other types of files, including SYS and DLL. It goes without saying that the signers extracted are unique and you do not have to worry about any duplicates.

It is worth mentioning that the utility enables you to extract the full list to a plain text file that you can rename accordingly. It would be relatively easy for you to use the list of signers with other third-party software solutions.
