Hello,
today the Microsoft Defender detected an unsigned executable inside Fences installation folder as a high-level threat.
Here is a VirusTotal scan result:
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/7c0c257ae4c2dd3f7e68043472429d5504abfe644861d8916f6db952a36724d7/detection

It's accompanied by two text files:
patch_register.cmd:

Code
Fences.exe /regpatch

and patch_unregister.cmd:

Code
Fences.exe /unregpatch

Is it safe to keep the file as an executable? Is there a reason for the file not to be signed? What is it for?
