How many code sign certificates do I need?

I have to build a installer using IA.
There are 1 program executable (.exe) and 1 browser helper object for IE (.dll) inside the installer.

How many code sign certificates do I need?

Do i need 3 separate certificates?
1 for installer
1 for exe
1 for dll

Or just simply 1 cert. is enough?

You need 1 certificate and use it to sign all your code (exe, dll, installer).

Yes, there is no reason to get more.

What kind of certificate do I need ?
There are several kinds of certificate, server, ssl, ...

I don't have any idea of the cost of a certificate, how much it costs per year ?

Could you forward me to the web page of your certificate provider ?

Thanks for your help
