![]() ![]() Many SSL companies will tell you it is because the “vetting process is harder”, but I smell bullshit on that. The big question is “Why does extended validation cost so much more?” and it is simply gatekeeping at its best. Using standard code signing with an external anti-virus will work close to the same as Defender is disabled when you use a 3rd party av. If you don’t use Defender, you don’t need to worry about smartscreen. The EV cert is close to the mafia extorting business users for “protection”. Smartscreen is powered by Windows Defender and you have to buy a $300 A YEAR code signing license with Extended Validation to bypass it. The false positives are excessive and I believe it is by design. However, there is a dark side to having Microsoft control this entire part of your PC that we need to go over. It does detect a ton of viruses and have good detection rates as long as you are online, since it relies heavily on its online connection. Windows Defender is often seen as a good antivirus, but I want to inform you of a cost noone sees but developers because of Defender. ![]()
