yes you can and you also create another unsigned exe that potentially is seen as an virus . It really is a match you can't win, only lose at some point in time!

I use code cert signing from almost 2 years.

In my case It solve many problems but not all.

Take a look here:

 

Try my TIP to use:

If Not @Compiled Then ConsoleWrite('ESET')

Currently I have almost zero problem with AV software.

My compiled exe are used daily on more than 100 computers.

Cool script, maybe you can adapt it to also work without ADS as an optional feature? Relying on ADS is bound to create issues, it only takes one person to move the file once to a non-NTFS location and the script would suddenly stop working and they would have no idea why.
