Methods to insure your app is safe?

First I would like to apologize if this isn't in the correct sub forum. I've been self-learning C++ for roughly a month, so I'm not sure I would consider myself not a beginner. On the same note, however, this probably isn't your usual beginner question.

Anyway, on to the question.
I've attempted to find an answer to this all day, as I've usually been able to find answers to my questions through enough research (Which, thank you Duoas for your windows based non-system clear console function.), but I just can not seem to come anywhere close to what I'm looking for.

What I would like to know is if there are any methods one can use to insure other people that your application is safe and not malicious. A relatively simple question, or so I thought. Any help would be great.

Thank you guys in advanced for your time.

You mean other than providing source code? Not really. Maybe printing a string reading
I can categorically state that running this program will not release man-eating badgers into the area.
?
That's what I was beginning to figure. I've got a relatively large program (For being a month into coding, in any case) that I'll be releasing a beta of to the community of a small MMO soon.

Perhaps the fact that I've resourced it a custom icon and version info might ease some minds that might otherwise be uneasy about it.

Thanks for your reply, Helios.
