> We ship Microsoft-signed Go binaries

Cool. So we just all need to politely ask Microsoft to sign our binaries. What a bright future where Microsoft have the power to decide who lives and who dies.

I know that you'll answer that Apple also does it. Well, it's also an issue.

Who needs courts and laws when you have good corporations :)

Idk how Windows does it, but under macOS, you can change a setting and it'll let you run any binary, but you have to approve it before running it the first time. It's not based on malware detection.

It’s the same in Windows. Well, mostly. You have to click 2 buttons to allow it.

This thread is about AV software, sadly the horrible headline ("on Windows") makes everyone who stopped with the headline comment about unrelated things.

That's what consenting adults do in lieu of 'bcdedit /set testsigning on' via an admin prompt. Alternately, one can call off the antivirus dogs and get on with it.
