All a signed control guarantees is that Verisign has said that the
organization that
signed the control exists. It has nothing to do with whether or not you
can trust the
control. If, for example, I was an industrial spy, I would create a dummy
corporation,
that was owned by a stockholder in the Bahamas, who turned out to be an
alias for a Swiss
bank, which...but you get the idea.

You have to decide when a signed control comes in if you trust the
organization that
signed the control. Generally, unless it is an organization like
Microsoft or Adobe (and
not, for example Microsfot or Abode), you are being asked to trust someone
you don't know.

A signed control not only says who signed it (which could be a stranger and
thus not mean much) but it also guarantees that the control was signed by
the person whose signature you see (and not someone else claiming to be that
company), and also that the control was not since altered (perhaps with a
virus) after being signed. So a signed binary (control or exe) does have
more validity than an unsigned one.
