Originally assigned to: @clechasseur on GitHub.

Is it possible to get a code signing certificate for you / the code so that the downloads pass basic checks - this is for a work IE 11 with anti-virus checking, that says "The publisher of this program couldn't be verified Learn more".

I believe there are 'free Open Source developer code signing certs' available. (favourite search engine should find a few providers).

The Git for Windows developer I think uses 'Certum Level III CA'

Interesting, I'll try to explore this.

Implemented. Next version (17.x) will be signed with a Certum open-source certificate.

@clechasseur , i hope we become not a "Pitzahat" W0rld domination in security,
hold in the brain:

"If M$ say it's not secure, can it be secure enough for the world .."
and don't forget they are partners (with peoples in the hidden too .. ) ... :\

I hope, Reactos become fast enough usable and stable enough ..

best regards
Blacky
