My .exe file is considered as threat on other computers .. Why?

I have a Java program .exe that is on my web site ..

it's a simple program that ask questions and answers .. it's safe if any one download it

but if my friends try to download it their antiviruses say "Threat has been detected"

is there any thing I can do to make it much safer to download it?

Thanks,

EDIT: Here's a screenshot of my program ..

actually it's written in Jess running from a Java class that has main method

You could use an applet or better use Java Web Start to distribute your Java application take a look at the Webstart Tutorial

Maybe you can try uploading your file to https://www.virustotal.com/. If many virus scanners are saying it is infected, then it surely is and you should search your computer for an infection by doing a hard(!) poweroff (so not virus shutdown hooks can be executed) and then use a live cd to scan your hard drive.

Otherwise it's just a false alarm. What does your application do? Can you provide a screenshot or a detailed error message?
