While installing an application, I received a prompt to install a driver which had a checked checkbox next to the text "Always trust software from [company]":

"Always trust software from [company]"

Since there have been instances of certificates being stolen and used to install malware, I consider "always trusting" any certificates (other than the preinstalled ones) poor security practice. Consequently, I always uncheck the checkbox. However, I'd like to not have to do that every time, so:

Is there a Windows setting that makes this checkbox unchecked by default?

  • It seems that you could try to use the command: certutil -addstore "TrustedPublisher" MyCertificate.cer RELATED LINK:migee.com/2010/09/24/…

    @daidai That seems to do the opposite of what I'm asking for.
