How to unblock a deployed application blocked by antivirus?

I can not run a standalone application deployed with MATLAB Compiler because the antivirus blocks it.

The application works fine in MATLAB and it successfully compiles, but when I try to execute (I try 'for_testing' and 'for_redistribution') the antivirus treats it as malware.

How can I fix this?

In order to fix this issue, consult with your antivirus vendor to help allow the standalone application.

Another possible workaround would be to compile the program without embedding the CTF archive into binaries using the "-C" flag:

>> mcc -C -m options mfilename

Another possible cause for the antivirus block is the XML manifest file which is included in the deployed executable.
