code signing - Is there a way to sign an MSI file so that Norton Internet Security recognizes it? -
norton internet security doesn't recognize msi file being signed. signed , certificate issued comodo. ie9's smartscreen filter recognizes being signed norton file insight says "unavailable." think bug on norton's part until fix it, rather not have msi flagged possible threat.
i can't seem past symantec's tech support's auto emails resolve , whitelisting file no because post update it's square one. ideas?
so, seems bug norton file insight. it's unable check msi files digital certificates. can read in symantec forum here: http://community.norton.com/t5/norton-internet-security-norton/bug-with-file-insight-not-detecting-digital-signature/m-p/491390/highlight/false#m164254. 1 of staff members admitted issue fixed in 2012.
but, come on, detecting digital certificate not difficult , it's such basic part of checking malware. malware digitally signed , in rare case it's signed, never digitally signed certificate trusted authority unless has been compromised. ie9 recognizes these facts , acts accordingly.
symantec has had notice of bug @ least 2 years , must easy patch. problem continues.
