Would this be the same thing? https://www.certum.eu/certum/cert,offer_en_open_source_cs.xml I'm looking for a service for open source software that won't charge us, or at least be cost effective for Open Source projects..

@cckozie can you post what the "more info" link reveals?

It sounds like having a certificate will not solve the smart screen warning shown above. That is based exclusively on the application's reputation. Even after getting the app signed we will likely have to wait for the reputation to build. However, I suspect that with the signed app it won't just say "Don't Run" but will give at least an option to run or cancel.

We might be able to manually improve our reputation by registering the company and uploading a signed sample of the app to Microsoft. https://sysdev.microsoft.com/

We can get a cheap open source certificate from https://www.certum.eu/certum/cert,offer_en_open_source_cs.xml
