Lol, that’s nothing, its a magical mystery tour when people try to read messages I type on my phone! Thanks for the clarification @StevegHI . It looks like it may be an issue related to BullGuard Internet Security.
@gdgsupport I had v2021.1 working without issues with BullGuard, but it was only when I turned off Bullguard Antivirus AND Firewall that 2022.0 is now working. Can you please advise if there is anything you or I can do to resolve this, as I ideally don’t want to have to disable every time I compile. Happy to give any information that may help you, or test anything you need. Many Thanks in advance, Paul

Hello Paul,
Consider Googling (I use duckduckgo.com for privacy considerations) the following: false positives bullguard
You may want to check this out:
https://wwworigin.bullguard.com/forum/15/how-to-stop-bullguard-from-quarantining-false-p_125090.html
The post included a recommendation: “I recommend contacting us via live chat or e-mail ([email protected]) to provide us with the file and the application logs. We can send the file to our virus lab to be investigated.”
If you’re distributing .exe software this is highly problematic since different clients may use different virus programs.
I was able to disable it on my computer by excluding certain folders. However, that is NOT the answer for software distribution.
Suggest you start at least with Windows Defender and Norton (which somehow has Bullguard). We don’t know who’s copying their virus tables and that may help.
The other item you mentioned has to do with the firewall. I’ve had some experiences where I had to add a program to the outgoing permissions for it to communicate over the internet (mainly to a website for updates, websites for national time, and a website for e-mail). Unfortunately, it has been about 15 years since I had to deal with this problem so I’m not reall up to it (VB6 with 30K lines of code!).
Your offer to test is very much appreciated. If we both can make a restricted date expiring .exe file, perhaps tied to our CPUs with XLSPadlock, we could exchange .exe files and determine whether (a) your software would have the problem on Windows Defender or (b) my software would have the problem on Bullguard. If so, send a message to my e-mail below.

Thanks for the details and links, I’ll check them out this morning. I may not have been overly clear. Whilst I have had issues previously with the compiled version being flagged, it appears to be fine so far (touch wood). The issue I am having is during the XLSPadlock Compile of the xls into exe, It crashes halfway through.
That aside, I will always be very happy to share testing, as I said, I have been caught out by false positives on virus scanners in the past. I will PM you as am a little concerned I may be taking this off-topic.

For the code signing, it fails because timestamp requires a valid Internet connection to contact a secure timestamping service server. Make sure you allow GSignCode.exe to access the Internet in your firewall settings (whitelist). Otherwise, digital signing will fail.
