How to make the exe as reliable for Antivirus

Question

1.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

I am having a exe which is doing nothing but performing some data validation checks from some DB. But when I hosted the exe on a central VM on IIS and used the http link to download, antivirus (Symantec) blocks and deletes the file saying "the file is not allowed because it is used by too few users".

Please help me out to get this rectified, is there any why I can somehow do some changes in my application so that the Symantec don't block it.

If there was a way to alter an executable so the AV didn't block it then the virus writers would do that too - so obviously there isn't. You need to configure your AV to allow that file through...

I suggest you post as solution. This is an AV issue, not a code issue.

Add it to AV exceptions so it knows it is safe

Each program has its own mechanism, you should find out for your particular version (through help/documentation) how to do it.

If there is an API provided, you might be able to do it programmatically, but I don't think so.

You can use SSH/https for this so that I will be safe secured system

Can you please help me with some samples from where I can take reference for SSH/https, I am not sure how that's going to help my .exe, but still would like to know.

You can add your application as trusted application list.
