What needs to be done so that Winda and activiruses do not swear at our program?

Question

Windows

For the first time faced with development under Windu. Based on the results of beta testing, there are many reports that Windows and antiviruses block to varying degrees (from warning to complete blocking) the launch of the installation package.
While we are planning to buy a developer certificate like this www.excelsiorjet.com/kb/34/howto-digitally-sign-ex... They say it should help. But, as I understand it, this will help at the OS level - the issue with antiviruses will remain open.
Do I understand correctly that you need to contact antivirus manufacturers and ask them to add our program to the exceptions?
I will be grateful for any information.

Answer 1

Run your program through https://www.virustotal.com/ and add the worm's answer to the description No
one needs to send your code until the receiving party has signed an NDA

Answer 2

Buy Code Signing from any reputable seller, sign the software and there will be no problems.
This will help both with the system and with antiviruses.
Unless, of course, you have obvious matches with virus signatures there.
You don't need to send anything to anyone, anti-virus companies are not interested in sitting and digging into your code, finding out the degree of its danger.
Signed and does not match the signatures of the virus database - allowed.
Not signed, or there are matches with signatures - block.

Answer 3

yes no question. send your source code to kaspersky .. it checks it and adds it to an exception based on the signature and checksum. probably so. and probably the same with other antivirus programs. You can ask this question to the developers of the commfort chat. until now, antivirs swear at them. they will tell you about the difficulties. =)

Answer 4

The certificate will help only if your application is really clean AND (!!!) the same certification authority did not issue certificates for signing shitty software. Adding a certificate to the anti-virus databases, since crappy applications signed with it, is very simple. As well as flying out of trusted certification authorities.
