I have a general question - when signing assembly, why should I buy certificate, and not to use, for example, test certificate, which can be created in Visual Studio.

Can you provide a link where can I read more about validation of certificate and warning message you are talking about?

Hm... Some background can be found in Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_authority and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-signed_certificate
