| | Re: prevent security software false positives You might find this an interesting read: http://visualstudiomagazine.com/arti...safer-now.aspx The "takeaway" is that you should probably try obfuscating the code that accesses the Registry. Also, VBS scripts have been especially focussed on over the years by security software because few mainstream people ever run a .vbs file. So a VBS that does the exact same thing as an EXE is more likely to be flagged!
