Application Is blocked

[MichaelCrawley]

So I created a small GUI and it runs like normal when I test run it but when I compile it my company blocks it.  What options do I have to where I can still run the file?

why your company blocks it ?

Do you use UPX (that's an option you can select when compiling) to compress the exe?

In my environment, I had to talk to the Sec team to get my apps excluded from the AV product scans. Also, I've found that compiling as x64 with no UPX throws the least amount of false positives from them and VirusTotal.

I am not sure why my company blocks AutoIt but we are are huge organzation and we are pretty locked down.  I just tried to compile using UPX and X64 and that did not work.  I can probably do everthing using a different tool but AutoIT works really well and easier to use especially for those of use (like me) who are not programmers.  Seems like there is something I am missing I can prevent Cortex to blocking.

If your organization is using Palo Alto Networks Anti Malware stuff, you (or whoever manages it) will likely have to open a support ticket to get an exception put in place for the false positive.

for what I read there, signing your executable could be used to make a filter to let it run. Maybe. If it's a solution, is within reach. Ask your admins.

Just an update, to whoever is interested, I worked with security and the application is no longer being blocked.
