IMO, it's a typical root certificate "NOT-up-to-date" issue. I ran into
this myself some weeks ago. I had a virtual machine active for two weeks
and web update service was disabled (I needed a specific Windows system
state). Suddenly, it began to display the "Unknown Publisher" warning on
quite a few code-signed .EXE files. I enabled the web update service and 10
minutes later it worked fine again.

Prior to that there was no problem." Similar or same scenario <g>
