Comodo Ev (i think one of the cheapest)
$399 per year for Ev, without a promotion.
Digicert $699 per year for Ev.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

No matter what the country is, we all live in the same digital space :)

Only if the app is signed with the timestamp (which is acquired via the proper certified server. Such server is usually provided by the party that issues the certificate).
Otherwise the signature expires as well.
Obviously everyone is using a timestamped signing.
Michael Collier:
If I do..
Menu->Project->Codesign Project->Attach code signature to executable
I get message..
Error: Unable to find signing executable !
Not surprising, because at this stage I haven't configured anything, but I can't seem to find anywhere to set a path to signtool.exe on my hard drive.
It was already on my drive at this location..
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\ClickOnce\SignTool\signtool.exe
I don't have same configuration options as the image on designers website here:

Any ideas?

try to use signtool from commandline
A bit off-topic. So, far the only need of automated signing in IDE is only needed if the security settings prevent starting unsigned executables.
Signging is usually needed when it's time to make a release or deploy the app elsewhere.
Michael Collier:
Thanks,
signtool.exe runs from the command line, it gives expected errors that certificates were not found..
SignTool Error: No certificates were found that met all the given criteria.
But isn't signtool.exe supposed to be fired from within the IDE -and give certificate errors from there?

I'd think it is supposed to do that... but doesn't do it for some reason.
