Yep. I'm finally caving and buying myself a EV Signing Cert likely during US Tax season just to prevent future FP Issues.

I use code cert signing from almost 2 years.

In my case It solve many problems but not all.

Take a look here:

 

Try my TIP to use:

If Not @Compiled Then ConsoleWrite('ESET')

Currently I have almost zero problem with AV software.

My compiled exe are used daily on more than 100 computers.

Cool script, maybe you can adapt it to also work without ADS as an optional feature? Relying on ADS is bound to create issues, it only takes one person to move the file once to a non-NTFS location and the script would suddenly stop working and they would have no idea why.

And your wish was my command.
And projects should be done in the same year. 
Therefore today on New Year's Eve a new version of Au3toCmd.
Just click on my signature.
Happy New Year .
