Although msi and soffice.exe are signed by Document Foundation digital certificate soffice.bin is not. This causes most of the work done by the Libre Office to lose levels of Trust in the Windows Environment. This can cause poor performance when the program is operating and although unlikely could potentially cause some malware vendors to incorrectly classify this binary as malware.
should reasd anit-malware vendors not malware vendors

Confirmed that soffice.bin is not digitally signed on 4.3.5.2, while the various exe files (soffice.exe, simpress.exe, etc.) are.

Its available by right-clicking on a file and clicking properties. https://www.digicert.com/images/code-signing/windows-verify-signature.png
