Program detected as virus, and harmful
Hey!
I made an installer, with some extra options, but its detected as a virus for microsoft(at virustotal.com, Trojan), and also harmful and virus by windows defender. What can I do to get rid of these? If anybody will use this, i don't want them to think about it's some virus, because its not. What could be wrong with my program? Thank you for all my helps. Project attached.
If it helps: the program requires authentication level:highestAvailable
Detection:

This site doesn't allow the attachment of compiled code. What you included was the entire install file. Anybody who clicked on that file would need to have their head examined. The file isn't necessary for the question, either.

Re: Program detected as virus, and harmful
This is a false positive. It's annoying. We have some internal written c++ code that similarly triggers virus warnings. As our code is only for internal use we just tell the virus scanner to treat these programs as the good guys.
Possibly changing code ordering could make a difference as virus scanners are looking for code that matches signatures and also heuristically examining code for possible issues.

Re: Program detected as virus, and harmful
Why does a simple project get identified, and removed by antivirus software?
I have a Label1. text = "HELLO"
Label1.text.visible =false
Button1 code = Label1.visible=true
Very simple, but gives me a virus warning, then removes the .exe file to the quarantine folder.

Don't have a setup.exe
Have you image 'configure' if it is not in your std. folder structure in a root folder, not in M$s folders
Then your app will be truly portable as well
Just my 2c worth
