I don't know if it's true, but a co-worker of mine said that, "in the wild" signed binaries are positively correlated with being malware.

I don't think the signing itself does much.

Perhaps not in itself. The lack of scans is concerning though

Signed by real vendors?

Depends what you mean by that, but probably not. But, signed definitely. The main problem here is that there doesn't seem to be an authoritative vendor list of the "real".
