I know that signing installers helps; I'm not sure if signing DLLs helps or 
not.  Looking forward, I wouldn't be surprised to see malware scanners 
looking for digital signatures if they aren't doing it now.  On the other 
hand, looking at a few random Microsoft DLLs under Windows 10, I see that 
they are not signed.
