Is there any way of writing a game in c++ and distributing it without anti-virus software accusing it of being a virus? I wanted my friend to play the game I made and he said that his computer wouldn't let him open the file. It prevented him with this message -> "Your internet security settings prevented one or more files from being opened." He didn't know which virus protection he had.
