It does not happen with "C:\MyApp\" folders though.
Only with "C:\Program Files\" and "C:\~Temp\" directories.
I ran into the same situation. I never use "C:\Program Files\" anymore because of that. I created a base directory, and go from there. Seems to work much better.

As in self sign or with a paid code signing cert, they're such a scam!

Won't always help. I've posted why before, but basically: legit companies that paid for certs to sign still got false-positives from AV.

And see this list of how legit certs have been used by malware -> https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1553/002/

Certs are literally worth nothing anymore and you're throwing money away by using them.
