Where I assume the "KYUAkVKwu" is the first part of the signature they found.

That is a pretty broad assumption to make.

Makes sense that anti-virus/malware companies would not make their definitions/signatures public.

Of course, because that is not machine code or even app data, so you will not find it in your executable.

There are plenty of certificate services available that are a fraction of that price. The cheapest ones I can find with a quick online search are $119/yr, $129/yr, $199/yr, $219/yr, etc. That's less than $20/mo.
