Do you think that a certificate prevents an antivirus to scan
an executable ? I'm laughing out of loud here.
Mmmh I discredite myself, I meant rolling on floor laughing...
Anyway do you imagine the AV publisher policy against dev, "If
your binaries are signed, we promise, you won't have false
positive..." i.e: "buy a certificate".
How this is called in everyday's world ? racketeering ?
