I have two, fraudulent Microsoft security certificates in my un-trusted
publishers folder . Can someone tell me what to do with these and what the
ramifications may be, if any?
 
Have you accepted a fraudulent Microsoft digital certificate?

Hi

If you are thinking about those two that is issued to Microsoft by
Verisign, they are supposed to be there and you should not do anything
with them.

They are there to block two digital certificates that Verisign issued
to an individual who fraudulently claimed to be a Microsoft employee.
