Protecting a Program File
After you have modified default protection settings and protection details, you can use the parameters to protect a program file within a project.
1.In the Program Files pane, review the default protection details and settings. These protection parameters will apply after you protect the program.
2.Click the Protect button. A dialog box is displayed, indicating the status of the protection process.
The success or failure of the protection process is logged in the Log History pane.
Protected program files are saved in the Protected folder.
Antivirus false positive detections are a threat to the software industry that affect both unprotected software and Envelope-protected applications or libraries. To prevent this issue with your applications, Thales recommends that you sign your binaries with Microsoft Authenticode, using a trusted certificate. Protected applications should be signed after protection has been applied. For more information on Authenticode, see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/seccrypto/time-stamping-authenticode-signatures
