Just finished my first proper program, I have now published it so it can be run through an .EXE rather than a visual studio. The issue I am coming up against is that my antivirus views the application as a threat and constantly scans it and prevents it access to run. Would I need to build a security certificate to prevent this? Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Owen
You need to tell the antivirus program to exclude it from considering as dangerous. Check out the menus of the antivirus checker.
This happens very often when you are scanning the disk to find things. But the sensitivity depends on the virus scanner.
Signing your app with trusted certificate also eliminates suspicion in most of antivirus progs. But this will not work for some antivirus like Norton Internet Security etc.
Depending on the anti virus, you can exclude/White list them.

I was wondering how I would go about retrieving a file in a way that wouldn't be shown (or at least somewhat encrypted) in a web debugger or similar tool (wireshark for instance). I am currently using FTP, but FTP has a couple security flaws such as username and password being viewable in a web debugger or in programs that have been created for getting FTP username and password. Would SFTP be any safer?
The important thing to remember here is that Wireshark/Fiddler/et al see every packet that moves through your card. If you have a legitimate need to hide traffic from the card (and I don't see how you could), you're looking at some drastic measures.
With that in mind, establishing a VPN link is likely your best bet. That makes all traffic through your card look pretty much the same, even the legitimate stuff. A simple HTTPS connection might help, too, but in this case you still leak that something was being downloaded, as well as the base domain name (not full URL). Failing that... don't use the card. Fall back to a serial connection or USB thumb drive.

When you send an application to someone, using another computer, besides the application itself, do I have to send the Resources File too? And if I am using a DataBase do I have to send the Database.mdf file too? And what else would you have to send to make sure your application works on another computers?
Sorry if this question is a repeated one, but most of the others just ask for a single item, either the Resources or something else. But I would like to know about everything you have to send.
Thanks a lot !
it depends on your approach. i think you have a software with database and... that you want to sell and make it owrk on other users device. you can make you app make a new database on first start. you can include database files if its local and add to user app directory and... it all depends on you packaging method and tool.
or maybe you want let someone continue the project. so you can give other developer a back up .bak format or export database files from sql server management studio and other developer can attach them to the other machine project

I have a developed a Windows Utility on VS & Asp.Net which is moreover a System Performance Enhancer. It installs normally as other Windows Desktop Software do.
Can we compile an EXE or MSI of that utility which Auto-Installs on a User's System. Let's suppose, the file gets downloaded on a computer. It sits safe in the downloads folder till the time the user restarts the system. OR, maybe some better option.
Please help me.
Auto install, etc.. ? If this was possible, viruses would rule the pc world. There is UAC in windows + antivir in browser. No workaround for this without user agreement ;)

I use notepad for writing daily notes.some times when system gets restarted by accidentally, I loose my content.
So my question is"can I write an auto-save plugin for notepad" ?
Please let me know if I can write an auto-save plugin for Notepad using C#.NET.
I know about Notepad++ but I want to use notepad only.
Thanks in Advance.
There is no direct way of doing this because NotePad is a separate application and you don't have its code. Even if you did have the code, I'm highly sure it wouldn't be in a .NET-based language.
There is an alternate though. You could recreate entire NotePad from scratch in .NET. Believe me it won't take more than a couple hours for a guy who knows his tools (someone out there might already have done that). Then you can add any new features at your choice.
Yet another way would be hooking into NotePad's low-level messages through Platform calls and trying to somehow inject your features into it, but that's something I'm not an expert at and that would probably take more effort/expertise than writing your own NotePad from scratch.

I'm working on a program that could actually delete all your system files.
so how can I sandbox it so it can only find its own files
or better can I put it in a kind of virtual machine environment, so it still can harm your system, but only the virtual.
it is a console application and the idea is that you have to develop it to be, a UI based machine and interact with other players / "machines"
although such contact may well also lead to major damage to your system.
i don't want the user to install a whole virtual machine and then execute the program, but this is the closest idea i got so far.
I think installing virtual machine is the only solution. If you are making the program able to delete all files in your system, it will be able to delete all files on your system. You are archiving exactly what you programmed, aren't you? So you just have to put it in Virtual machine or emulate environment for example by creating a folder on your drive and changing code of your application to have access only to this folder (walkaround...).
You could use Sandboxie:
Sandboxie runs your programs in an isolated space which prevents them from making permanent changes to other programs and data in your computer.
