Explanation:
Windows device drivers and operating system files have been digitally signed by
Microsoft to ensure their quality. A Microsoft digital signature is your assurance that a particular file
has met a certain level of testing, and that the file has not been altered or overwritten by another
program’s installation process.
Depending on how your administrator has configured your computer, Windows either ignores
device drivers that are not digitally signed, displays a warning when it detects device drivers that
are not digitally signed (the default behavior), or prevents you from installing device drivers without
digital signatures.
Windows includes the following features to ensure that your device drivers and system files remain
in their original, digitally-signed state:
•Windows File Protection
•System File Checker
•File Signature Verification
