The pop-ups promoting 'TopShape.me' feature names like 'TopShape Download Page' and recommend users download and install the 'TopShape.me' software. PC users may be suggested that 'TopShape.me' can help them install the latest versions of outdated hardware drivers. Unfortunately, the 'TopShape.me' software update instrument has no user-interface, and it is designed to run in the system background as the following process:

Digital Signatures

This section lists digital signatures that are attached to samples within this family. When analyzing and verifying digital signatures, it is important to confirm that the signature’s root authority is a well-known and trustworthy entity and that the status of the signature is good. Malware is often signed with non-trustworthy “Self Signed” digital signatures (which can be easily created by a malware author with no verification). Malware may also be signed by legitimate signatures that have an invalid status, and by signatures from questionable root authorities with fake or misleading “Signer” names.
