He wants to be able to prove to any user that his EXE does not have any Virus... that they can trust on his EXE file.

Exactly. If you've been given the code it's your own fault if you don't look it over.

But it's also your opportunity to look for anything accidental that could be exploited, and do something good by identifying it, fixing it, and giving it back to the community.

If you want. Or just give the source.

Well, MS doesn't give their source, and so many people find problems with it but have no way to fix them. In fact, there are bugs in the 9x series all the way up to ME that haven't been fixed, dating from the days of DOS 4 or 5. Those bugs could cripple a system, even remotely (yes, I know how to trigger them and it ain't difficult).

Luckily MS is abandoning the old Windows rather than fixing all the holes.

LOL.

Well, If you give them your Address & Fone #. they know how to come and kick you in the nuts if it is a virus,

So i think it should solve your prob ;)

Theres also the fact, people dont always know how to compile it though,
So what about them?

~and theres the people who are a little "Slower" - (Not that their thick or that, jst that they dont know the coding) and dont know CC+ or that, (or cant afford it) that cant compile it, OR under stand it

If they don't know how to compile it, they should not know how to interpret the code either. So, that's their problem... they should trust on your EXE.

This sounds like the perfect service. If you pay me X dollars, I'd inspect your code, read your documentation, run your exe, do some testing on it, and give you a blurb reccomendation, if I survived. And any questions a user would have, they could e-mail me and ask.

The larger the $X, the better the blurb!

Yeah,

What the post above said too,

BUT:

I have seen those services (Charge about $3 per hour) [and come on, dont take an hour to check out an exe] to check it over,

then add it to a DB on their site, with all the details, File Size: Version: and that sort of crap, so the user can "Verify It".
