Post From: The installation-package is not digitally signed.

Excuse my late answer, please, .

I just downloaded "https://download2.sierrachart.com/downloads/SierraChartFileDownloader.exe", again, and it is still not digitally signed (right-clicking the exe, and selecting" properties" there is no "digital signatures"-tab).
So, from my point of view it is only marginally trusted, as we have to trust the upload to the https-site.
Anyone hacking it can "amend" it by any malware he/she/it likes.

The downloaded files are somewhat signed, because the three most important ones are not signed.:
1. "C:\SierraChart\SierraChart.exe"
2. "C:\SierraChart\SierraChartFileDownloader.exe"
3. "C:\SierraChart\Data\UserContributedStudies_64.dll"

So, this is a major security-problem (for a software with "banking"/"trading"-permissions, if You ask me, everything needs a signature).

_Tschüß,
