How to make the .exe without seemin like a virus

hello guys ...
since i started to vb i made several exe files and when i tried to show them to my friends or someone else but every single time i got the "Virus!" label stuck to my program.. i mean antivirus programs ran alarms and screamed "Are you nuts ?! Its a VIRUS!!" and i dont want that happen... how can i prevent this to happen??

simple

stop putting viruses on their machines

have you considered virus checking you code

or submitting it to an antiivirus program for scrutiny

it could be your signature or the fact that you install mayneed to go to internet for updates

here to talk

at first.. did i misunderstand or you are accusing me for trying to put viruses on their computer.. i hope i did...

second i dont know how to do what you've said can you show me a tutorial ?

A common reason for this type of issue, is that you are using code which has been used in the past by known viruses, even if you believe that you are not using it for "bad" reasons. API calls like key loggers, or automatic mouse-clickers. Do you use any API calls, or 3rd party libraries in any way, shape or form? The chance that all your projects are using such code is low, so the other option is that you actually have a virus on your machine.

i dont even know how to call an API and i would be very glad to learn :) but i dont think some math operations are the kind of codes that viruses use... but it might change the way you look at it that saying it happens when i execute the file not as soon as i put it into other computers..

Well, if you belive you are not using any API, nor 3rd party libraries and your code is not trying to access files/folders in secure areas, then possibly you have a virus on your machine.

i was trying to reach folder.. i had a chemistry project which was a project seemed like http://www.ptable.com/ ... and i saved 118 photos to a folder and i had 118 labels(as an array in vb6) and i named the photos as their atom number (e.g "H"'s photo is named "1"..) and wrote

Code:

---

picturebox1.picture=loadpicture(c:\blalbabla\1.jpg)

---

and i executed that program in 3 diffrent computers and all gave virus warnings is that why?

I doubt it, anything that is kept within .Net is usually safe, trying to go outside the box (API calls) are the ones I have seen. Even though it has been mentioned about 10 times, have you actually run a virus checker on your machine, ie using the virus app that is showing you the errors would be a start!

ok then what about i upload it then scan it with virus total?

edit: im afraid i dont have it anymore so i will upload another one

Just scan your own machine!! Remove it from the equation.
