Problems with antivirus and permissions to run the application

[jadentyhy]

I created a Java application and I generated an executable. JAR, which works perfectly, after that I used my Launch4j that transforms .JAR on .EXE and then I used InstallCreator to create an installer for my application .EXE to have a more professional look, but my clients are having difficulty downloading the application generated by InstallCreator because the antivirus does not allow the user to download the .EXE software that is on the InstallCreator format (in a Setup format), and in some cases (very rare) when downloading the Setup allows generated by InstallCreator after installed, the antivirus is triggered when the application starts and gives a signal to virus threat and the application is blocked, or to run. installed EXE is necessary "run as administrator ". and this makes it very difficult for the user, anyone know any way to get one. JAR turn into. EXE and create an installer that does not generate any problems with antivirus and permissions? And once installed does not give problem to run?

Hello and welcome to tutorials.de,

does I understand correct, that InstallCreator is the problem when it comes up to antivirus detection or is it your created executable which is declared as threat?

In case of InstallCreator (which I don't know anything about) maybe switch to another installation package creator is a good idea? Nullsoft provides a wide used open source installer creation tool: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page

If your application is classified as malware, then maybe you have no chance, because the exe is only a container, which starts a jvm with the given parameters in your launch4j.xml, and probably make use of some techniques which triggers the heuristic threat detection of some (poor implemented) antivirus software. In that case you could only contact the antivirus software producer to whitelist your application. But that means in case you provide a new version of your application you have to do that procedure again, because the checksum of the executable and other parts have changed.

There was a discussion a couple of weeks ago here in the C++ forum, where another user asked a relative question (if you understand german language): https://www.tutorials.de/threads/c-vs-virus-erkennen-des-programmes-als-virus.398880/

He obviously managed the situation by contacting the av producers to whitelist his application.

If you are able to non-disclose you can upload your application.exe to https://www.virustotal.com/ to see which part is classified.
