Developing Norton-friendly Software

Hello All,

 

In-between classes I work for a company doing odd-jobs.

 

For one of these tasks I had to write a program to collect information from the local machine and output it to a text file. The information my program gathered was in part from the App Data directory and in part from the registry. Other than that my program turned a base 52 (I think key) to Base 10 to ASCII and did a little file handling. When I would run the executable an employee’s laptop, Norton would prevent it from running and move it straight to quarantine.

 

I worked around this by selecting “Trust Now” (I think) from Norton File Insight on each of the 70 machines.

 

I’ve been tasked to write a new piece of software in Delphi again and I

 

#1 Don’t want to have to “Trust this file” on every machine.

 

#2 Must allow the program to be updated (the code works just fine) from the server when I release a new version.



 

Is there a way I can get Norton to trust my programs? Submit the source-code maybe? Get a certificate that will only work with our 70 or so work machines?

 

Thanks,

Justin
