In response to Dave's post:

 

What is a "security certificate" and what does it mean to use it to sign your executable?

 

I assume that by "sonar detection" you mean the file-scanning behavior of an anti-malware program.

Hello Jeff

 

Here is a link from the Norton Internet Security program for 2014 which might explain to you the meaning of Sonar. There are also some more links at the bottom of this page.. I didn't realize it was such a long link. Since it is so long, I do hope that it will work ok.
