Hello,

Using PB 2019 R3 Build 2703

Till yesterday everything were perfect.   From today we see that the exe file gets deleted by McAfee Anti-virus.

We compile application in the PB IDE itself.   File ->  New -> Project -> Application and fill up required details.

After compilation is over, immediately after double-clicking the exe [ in the same computer, in the same folder ], that file is deleted by McAfee.   If we make the anti-virus inactive, we could run the application.

This is the only method we used to create the application.  

What should we do now?  

Happiness Always

Another thing you could try is to report your application as a "false positive" to mcafee. With a little bit of luck they'd exclude any powerbuilder apps with similar characteristics.

You can exclude your development folder from scanning:

Digitally sign the .exe with a trusted certificate.

Thanks Armeen .

I thought this issue is there for power client applications only.



No idea about certificates.

1.Do we need to purchase it ?

2. Or free certificates available?

3. Which one appeon recommends.

This is not issue of PowerClient. This just basic security thing that Windows OS and security software care about to make sure the app is not malicious.

Yes, trusted certificate need to purchase. We don't make any particular recommendation... just go with one of the popular ones.

Hi Everyone;

You can sign any PB App EXE. Just install the MS-Windows SDK. Then manually run the SignTool.exe after the PB App compilation, as follows ...
