Decompiling exes

[LuckyLuke]

Hi,

I just started with a bit encrypting and such and I also started hacking my own files and apps, to see how secure it is. I'm a terrible hacker and I did some basic things, which were listed on the internet and it seems that its pretty easy to decompile a visual basic .exe. I was wondering if there's any easy way to protect it and preferably not a third-party product (i've seen some protection programs). Also I was wondering how this problem involves in other languages. Is it a big security risk in languages like C++ as well or is it just the basic language?

I hope I clearified myself

Did you "hack" a VB Exe that was compiled to Native Code or Portable Executable?

Hi,

I didn't hack my own file yet, only a visual basic 3 file. It doesn't work indeed on a visual basic six file (compiled in native code), but I have been told that is is possible with specific decompilers.
