C # application looks false in AVG antivirus?

Question

I created a C # application that I tested on my other computer throughout the development phase. However, now that I have completed the application with a few recent things that I have added, the application is detected as a virus (AVG does not show which virus). Here are some changes I made:

• A registry setting has been added that allows the user to run the application when Windows starts.
• Changed the assembly name and assembly information (because I wanted to rename the application).
• I entered the subscription settings and clicked on the "Sign ClickOnce manifest" button.
• I went to the security system and clicked on this application with full confidence.

The app is just a weather app. It reads data from XML and displays it. I never had a false positive until I made these changes. So what is the problem and how to solve it?

I added the following settings:

RegistryKey rk = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run", true); if (startupCheck.Checked) { rk.SetValue("WeTile", "\"" + Application.ExecutablePath.ToString() + "\""); } else { rk.DeleteValue("WeTile", false); }

Many antivirus programs and the OS itself will complain about new / unreliable applications. Signing with a code signing certificate will significantly improve your "rating" and allow your program to work, but self-recording through ClickOnce will not help at all.

There are many other messages about trying to get around these filters. You can turn to anti-virus companies such as AVG and see what can be done and if they can whiten your application. ( AVG - Report false alarms ) Sending false alarm reports and deleting tasks that require full trust (or actions that seem to be “suspicious” for AV) will help you launch the application.
