    Norton Antivirus raising an issue

    Hi guys, we are evaluating this system in conjunction with umbraco and on installation to one of the dev machines, Norton Antivirus is raising an issue stating that we are one of the first people to download uSiteBuilder and that they recommend not using it.

    We haven't had the same issue with Microsoft antivirus though, any suggestions?

     

    It appears the major problem is that the binaries are unsigned and coming from a serbian server.

     

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Hi Alan,

    Is Norton Antivirus complaining when you try to download uSiteBuilder or when you try to install it? The uSiteBuilder website is hosted on a server in The Netherlands but domain is a Serbian domain (".rs") - if that is the problem then you can download uSiteBuilder from CodePlex: http://usitebuilder.codeplex.com/releases/view/71768.

    When you install uSiteBuilder MSI file you get a VisualStudio Add-In installed and a DLL that you can reference in your projects. You don't have to install the MSI and use the VisualStudio Add-In that we made - you can just download the DLL ("Vega.USiteBuilder.dll") and reference it in your projects.

    If you figure-out why Norton was complaining please report it here - it may be interesting for others as well.

    Regards,
    Sasa

    Hi Sasa, the major problem the people I am working for have with using this is that a) Norton are saying there are very few users and they (Norton) recommend not using the file; and b) the .msi is unsigned, which concerns them from a business perspective.

    Personally, I really like using uSitebuilder, but for those two reasons, my employers are reluctant to.

    As far as Norton goes, it initially flagged the msi as being unsigned, then raised the .rs domain as a secondary issue, alongside the fact there are relatively few users.

    I would suggest signing the binary file would be a way to get past a couple of those objections - particularly since the lack of signature was the catalyst for the initial objection.

    Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.

    Alan

    Hey Alan, as uSiteBuilder is completely open source, you can also get the source code, build it and do what ever you want with outputs (sign it, make msi or do anything else including signing with your own certificates).
