Avoiding "The application's digital signature cannot be verified"

I self-sign my applets and of course the user is presented with a screen that prompts them to confirm the digital signature every time they visit the page (unless they confirm they don’t want to see the message again).

It’s appearing because I request access to the user’s clipboard (so they can cut & paste text), and to lock their mouse to the applet (so they can scroll around in the game easier)

Is there seriously no way of avoiding this message? Like getting the applet signed or approved by Verisign or somebody that can confirm it’s just a game and not out to steal your private information.

You have to buy a code signing certificate. Sorry, it’s a messed up world. Apparantly the willingness to pay makes your certificate ‘safe’. The users will still see a security dialog though, just a less scary one.

Is Verisign the one to use if I have to pay?

I actually tried completely removing the clipboard and robot and it is still showing… is there some way to show what in my project is causing this thing to appear?

If you do not want the message to show up: do not sign the jars.

Right, of course! Brilliant! Thank you.
