I think you guys should check out http://www.opswat.com/there are 2 or 3 products that may be a match. I think that OESIS Framework at http://www.opswat.com/products/oesis-framework provides a single interface to many antivirus and AVG isin that list. Another option is, I think, Metascan at http://www.opswat.com/products/metascan which is more for ISV.
I also found that AVG is certified by OPSWAT at http://www.opswat.com/certified.

I hope thishelps.
Regards,

No. And this generally only works for installers (and in Win XP SP2 when running installers) and other files not installed with an MSI (as in Windows really all things should be MSI'ed these days.. there is little reason not to, older install systems are just messy, unaccountable, and often can't even repair themselves.

What signing an exe (or msi or dll or ocx or cab etc) installer or downloaded file, the "ugly" Vista warning will come up telling you that a non-trusted app wants to execute.

Having a cert gives this screen two new important things:
(1) it now displays WHO made this app as well as a link to a website you can optionally provide to give information
(2) it now allows the user the option "trust" your digital signature and hence your software in the future will NOT show that "ugly" Vista warning

In Win XP SP2, these dialogs and improvements are similar, however the dialog is smaller, less obtrusive (doesn't gray out the rest of the screen etc)]]> Mon, 20 Nov 2006 22:37:19 +0000 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/trojan-warning-with-avg_topic550_post2541.html#2541 <![CDATA[Trojan warning with AVG : Thanks!

Any will work. Win 2003 should work just fine. Please note though that signtool.exe may in a bin directory. You will most likely want to copy the exe OUT of that directory to somewhere else on your computer. The reason for this is that if you are using something like Win 2k, the dll apis in that same bin directory as signtool.exe will NOT be compatible with it. So the ref dir order being: local, system32, win, ... signtool.exe will ref the newer dll files in the same dir as it (instead of the ones it should call in your sys32 dir, causing these api functions to error. In short, do yourself a favor and copy the exe to something like ur desktop or C:\ dir (as you will need to ref it via command line).]]> Mon, 20 Nov 2006 01:09:38 +0000 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/trojan-warning-with-avg_topic550_post2537.html#2537 <![CDATA[Trojan warning with AVG : Hi Chris!

Best regards,
Ingo

You don't NEED to use special tools to sign code, there is a tool called codesign.exe and signtool.exe that came in the Windows SDK from Microsoft which you can use to sign projects.

Some installers, such as Advanced Installer, which is what we use, supports signing your installers as you compile them.

It really is a shame that almost all projects need to be signed now, as it really is just a money making machine for cert providers... as the certs really only ensures that the company with which you are dealing made the installer... it doesn't authenticate anything ABOUT the organization (fraudulent, trying to trick users with a common name, with slight variations, etc)]]> Sat, 18 Nov 2006 02:23:42 +0000 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/trojan-warning-with-avg_topic550_post2531.html#2531 <![CDATA[Trojan warning with AVG : Thank you, with your info I have...]]> http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/trojan-warning-with-avg_topic550_post2513.html#2513 Author: Pirmin
