Some newly deployed exe's are flagged by Panda (anti-virus) and won't install
Our product consists of multiple exe's written in PowerBasic and just recently Panda endpoint anti-virus and anti-malware has started objecting to them and considering them malware and quarantining them Not all just some. An executable directory might have over 100 exe's and 99% are fine. What way is there to avoid AV false positives.

We use virustotal.com to scan for infection. Powerbasic compiles winapi to near machine code. I'm not sure what code-signing is. I've read about manifests and compiling that in as a resource per program but with 100's of exe's in the field with no problem seems unnecessary to do that to all the programs. We often write many custom programs that only one customer would ever use. Very possibly that is a problem.

Panda answer would probably be a whitelis entry. With Carbon Black, they say in their forum to apply a digital signature to get rid of the issue.

Code-signing solved the problem.
