I extract my project setup file with setup factory. But Windows Internet Explorer and Symantec Endpoint Protection acts like it is a harmful application. What can I do to solve this problem?

You should sign the file with an Authenticode code signing signature.

If you don't sign your executable files, you will have to deal with the user seeing various warning.

Comodo code signing certificates aren't too expensive.

  • can i use my site's ssl certificate for sign my exe file? Both of ssl certificate. – Savas Adar May 24 '12 at 06:22
  • @SavasAdar, no. Unfortunately, that's a different kind of certificate. You have to buy this one separately, but see if your SSL provider also provides code signing certificates to see if you can get a package deal. – Marcus Adams May 24 '12 at 12:38
  • I bought a code sign certificate and i signed my exe with it. But still i get this error. Why? If code certificate doesnt eliminate this, What is a certificate?? – Savas Adar May 28 '12 at 12:08
  • You will have to contact Symantec then. If your file is not malicious, they will have to add an exclusion to their program or tell you how to prevent it. – Marcus Adams May 29 '12 at 13:59
