❔ EXE application
why when I compile EXE applications using C# visual studio, if it is the simplest program, then the antivirus of the Windows virus scolds this program.

can't tell you without seeing the program
but false positives can happen
i remember Malwarebytes really hated/hates simple c# applications
there was a complaint made about it and the devs basically said nuh-uh
Avast antivirus is also a pain in the ass when developing. I suggest ditching it, and using.what windows offers (if you are on Windows). It is good enough.

AV name?
It is Microsoft Defender 🤔
it is smartscreen by windows defender, is this how it's supposed to be, or is there something I need to do?
You might need to add Visual Studio, or your project folder to the windows defender exclusion list
I've found this script: https://gist.github.com/Braytiner/be2497d1a06f5a9d943dc7760693d460

Will it work for everyone or just my pc?
Only you
for sharing software and getting rid of the smart screen you need to get a software certificate, which can be quite expensive
Okay, thank you.
