Yes, that's right. It will come up and say it's being published by you
rather than "Unknown publisher".
When it comes up and says who you are, I think it also allows the user to
say "always trust this guy", although that might depend on the OS version or
the A/V software -- I have seen this prompt, but can't remember exactly the
circumstances.

Thanks - so to be clear....
If I buy a certificate the "message box" comes up saying that I am who
I am, and the user get to click install or don't install. I the user
trust (CAS) apps comming from me it will install instantly, and thats
not possible without a certificate - right?
Thanks for you help.
