Broken digital signature for file "C:\Window\System32\auto_reactivate.exe"

Thread needs solution

I have received this error from my AVG Business virus scanner on BOTH my PC's:  one runs Windows 7 and the other Windows 10.

The full details are :-

Error: "The file is signed with a broken digital signature, issued by:  Acronis International GmbH"
File:  "C:\Window\System32\auto_reactivate.exe"

Is there a problem with the signature on this file?

Some other known issue?  (eg. false positive by AVG)

Or what?

NB:  on both PC's Acronis seems to be running fine.

Hello Richard,

Thank you for your posting! Could be a false positive. Try uploading auto_reactivate.exe to an online AV sevice, e.g. VirusTotal - it will use a set of different scanners to check the file.  A repair installation should revert the file to its original state.

Thank you,
