    Antivirus false alarm


    Windows Security triggers when I try to run an .exe that I coded myself. I'm using Notepad++ to code in C and Developer's Command Prompt from VS 2019 to compile. Then when I try to run the exe, it triggers the alert and deletes the exe. Can anything be done about this? I know I can tell Windows to allow it, but does that apply only to the one specific file, or any instance of the malware that it may see in the future?

    :)

    False Alarm Tracking System

    I'm doing some work for a security company that monitors alarm systems. They are currently using an ancient piece of software that tracks false alarms.

    Basically, ever time there is a false alarm it is entered into the system, each one is entered manually so it doesn't have to interface with another piece of software or anything. When the person gets their 3rd false alarm the software automatically flags the person and spits out a $35 invoice so it can be sent to the person. Every false alarm after that the system generates another $35 invoice and tracks the persons balance as well. Then on January 1 the number of false alarms are reset to 0 and the process starts over, but obviously their balance is kept if they haven't paid it.

    I'm looking to replace this old program with something that will actually run in Windows 7/8, right now they have to use XPMode to run it and it barely runs under that.

    Anyone know of anything free of paid that could do this?

    Yes, fully automated after the person enters each false alarm.

    Antivirus false alarm

    Windows Defender False alarm

    I am getting many false alarms from Windows Defender.

    When I follow up and look for details of the alarm/virus, there is nothing listed. .... so what is it picking up??

    Haven't had the time to investigate fully. I havent changed any of its default settings since it installed with Win 10.

    Windows Defender might be a half baked app from Microsoft??.
