Windows warning when running my exe apps made with ctf 2.5

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

    Hello. I have encountered a problem that also can scare my customers away.

    I personally use CTF 2.5 to make apps, not games. I create it's content with website makers (Mobirise, code etc) and use webview object to load the content in to app. This way customers need to only download the app once, but I can update it's content as many times as i want without people having to redownload every update.

    Problem is: When someone installs my exe (even myself) Windows pops up an blue message (Windows defended your computer) And I have to click on more info for download anyways button to appear. This lead to many my potential customers being scared away.
    Also virus total alerts that my app is malware, but i know for sure it isn't because i made it. How to get rid of those pain in the ass problems? I love CTF 2.5 editor so much so I don't want this to be an reason to reconsider my platform.

    This is windows and antivirus standard behaviour for applications that are not signed or applications that don't have a huge install base. You can alleviate the chances by code signing your .exe, but that is something that has do be done externally and you'll need to buy a certificate for that. Even with a certificate windows may warn users if your app does not have a huge install base though. Here's a helpful thread on the issue: Please login to see this link.

    No, Steam provides the signatures if you install software from there. I only code-sign things I distribute DRM-free.
