Is Native Application (NA) safe to use?

    After you downloaded the NA installation file (which has extension .msi), you can verify its digital signature. To do this, right-click on the file, select Properties — Digital signatures.


    In the signatures list, there is signer ANT.COM LIMITED. Click on the Details button. The Digital Signature Details window will appear, and it should display This digital signature is OK.


    If our installation package is altered (modified) by someone else, the digital signature will become invalid, or will disappear. If you noticed that the signature is invalid or missing, then delete the installation file and download the latest one from https://www.ant.com/video-downloader/native/windows/latest, or contact support.


    Next, you can verify NA files (both .msi file and binary files) using an online virus scanning service, like https://www.virustotal.com/. Once NA is installed, its files are located in directory (you can copy and paste path to the address bar of File Manager / Windows Explorer window):
