Certificate signing doesn't stop malware. Anyone can get a certificate, either in their own name or the name of a limited company, and Windows will happily drop all the warnings and roll out the welcome mat. If I was developing some lovely money-grabbing malware, the first thing I'd do is register a disposable company and shell out for a certificate.
