The browsers assume it is a malicious software because of no digital signing. Which IDE are you using? If Visual Studio, this option is readily available. Digitally sign your software with corporation name as "Personal" or "Test" or "For Download" or whatever.

If you are using some other IDE, you can always download something on Google and then digitally sign the software. Once this step is done, most browsers and anti-virus software would not classify your software as malicious.

P.S. You might have to make an account with the digital signing software. If using VS, it asks for your further credentials as well.

Cheers!

  • Hi Naor, Like I said, you will need to verify your credentials. You have to apply for a license to get a software publishing certificate. You will also have to pledge not to distribute viruses, malware, or any other harmful code. The details are given on Microsoft's website. The URL is: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537361(v=vs.85).aspx#Criteria_for_Individ Follow the instructions and get your own digital signature. Then publish good software for life! :) Hope this helped you. Cheers!!! – Nathan822 Aug 06 '12 at 02:59
