I made a little program in Qt and C++ that helps to connect to the internet. The app works great, but when I download the .exe (or the installer), Google Chrome recognizes it as malware. Scanning the app with Microsoft Security Essentials does not return any problems.

I use Qt with QFile, QString, QtextStream, QPointer, QWebview, QWebFrame, QWebElement, QUrl, QDesktopServices, QStringList, QEventLoop.

Does anybody knows how to solve this problem?

  • Are you given any more information as to why your app is detected as malware? Could you post a screenshot please? – sam-w May 10 '12 at 14:50
  • Here is a printscreen: http://www.botervlieg.be/public/TEMP/prtscr.png . It says "app.exe seems to be harmful". This ocures when downloading the application in Google Chrome. – OO-SKY May 10 '12 at 16:40
  • @sjwarner : Could it be related to **Code Signing**? I used the exe file from the 'release' directory of my QT build. I didn't do any code signing as far as I know. – OO-SKY May 10 '12 at 21:27
  • Check out this previous question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9512919/getting-around-chromes-malicious-file-warning, think it might help :) – sam-w May 11 '12 at 12:07
  • @sjwarner, It's indeed the same problem! Funny thing is that I am allready using Webmaster Tools for that site. But maybe Google hasn't crawled the exe file yet, because it's not linked with the main website... Another strange thing is that it does work with other exe files (not compiled by me). – OO-SKY May 11 '12 at 15:29
  • Google Chrome just seems to assume that *any* exe on the web could be malicious. There are many of these exes (and DLL's) which are perfectly safe that give this warning. Not exactly a pro for using Chrome. – Ruud van Gaal Mar 13 '13 at 17:20

Try to get in touch with Google service, maybe there, you can find answers.

Second idea is try to check your .exe by some antiviruses (for example, online service by Dr.Web -- http://vms.drweb.com/online/).
