When I create the .exe file for my developed program, the first time I open the antivirus always has to do a Scan and if I sent it over via google drive or email .rar, when the person downloads it it show the message if they trust the file.

How can I fix this, is hard to explain to people they can trust it everytime...

    I sort of hope you *cannot* fix this, as it would circumvent a security check – Hans Kesting Feb 07 '22 at 17:25

    This is just how any half-decent anti-virus and/or email program behaves in the 21st century. Sadly, people email executable files with malicious content to other people, so these programs warn the end user about that. (Who promptly ignores it, but that's a separate issue...) There's nothing you can do to the file to prevent it other than maybe getting it certified safe by Google or something (I have no idea if they have such a program, but probably not and it won't be free if they do). After all, if **you** could, so could the scammers. – T.J. Crowder Feb 07 '22 at 17:27

    This could be a question about code signing, but even signed code is evaluated by antivirus. – Doug Dawson Feb 07 '22 at 17:28
