Antivirus Issues With WinSock

I made a client for winsock which basically is a quizzer. It gets questions from my server and asks the users questions that i wrote. I gave it to my church for Bible study so that the teacher can quiz us without having to manually grade everything and it's much better this way, but the anti virus keeps saying it's a virus and deletes it. Why does it do this with winsock, it's so freaking annoying. I know it could be a keylogger but it isn't is there a way to fix it?

Weird, but can't tell without seeing the code ?

What AV

?

You can bypass all AV's 100% tho it's becoming more and more harder in some casees.. by telling us what AV bothers you we can find a way around it.

For some you have to do some little encription /chanagin stuff around etc.. it's false/positive AV call anyway so it will be easy.

Well, it's not like i have a virus i want undetected, i just want to make the av know my program isn't a virus. I hate how i have to write undetected code for a helpful program, it's really stupid.

If you tell us what AV it is, we will be able to help you, likely without modifying the code -_-

i lol'd..
you know how much it takes to unflag your programm for a single AV.. god...

it's Norton.. Ohh.. dude.. i rahter run woithout AV and FW than use that piece of crap..

in my expierence Kaspersky and Avira do the best job.. tho some may say they eat resources like a candys but well they work for something.

About your problem easyest would be to use some crypter since you using Nort. it could be outdated one cript the file and give it a go.. 90% that Mr.Norton will let it go.

Now if you have access to taht computer you can play with the configuuration... hell why not ? :/ disable some stuff and thats more easy than my first suggestion..

Last one.. but the best.. would be go control panel - > add remove programms -> search up Nortonlol srs..
if someone wanted to send you some keylogger/bot wahtever.. they could still do it no matter what AV you run.. i can cript my ones and bind them to random files and they goes thrue 42-> top popular AV's

IT'S NORTON

That's the shittiest AV in existence. It even blocks Notepad and Calculator on my pc. Change it.

nono, that's you having a virus, everybody knows that notepad and calc.exe are favorite targets

@op

Why don't you just add it to the list of accepted executables? That way it won't break anything...
If you really want to bypass heuristic checks (I assume it's heuristic and not static detection the av uses) you'll have to start changing the code and the way it works, and see what doesn't trigger a message. Encrypting your program probably won't help in this case because the detection is done at runtime and not while scanning.

What avg do u recommend cuz I tried avg and it sucks worse than norton so which one do u guys prefer

Nod32 Smart Security. Download the trial from their website and then activate using Mara Fix.

Well, i know that i can add it to the list of programs to allow, but what if i want to send it to someone, it will say it's a virus.

Either do what schim said, or simply tell them to add it to the list of exclusions.

there are still ways on how to stfuNorton ;] as i said it depends on AV.. some may be tricked just to add simple loop... 3 seconds lets say the loop it selfs dont do nothing but .exe beeing scanned when in runtime dont show any function calls or anything that may trigger AV... im sorry for my poor explanation.. :/

ok, i guess that's the only solution, it's just really annoying.
