The free Fix File Encoding extension prevents Visual Studio 2017/2015/2013/2012 from adding BOM to UTF-8 files.

Normally, when you edit a UTF-8 file in Visual Studio, it adds the byte order mark (BOM) sequence 0xEF, 0xBB, 0xBF to the beginning of the file. Sometimes it confuses other applications further processing the file. You can select an encoding manually (File - Advanced Save Options... or File - Save As... - Save with Encoding...), but you need to do it each time you reopen the file.

Website security must be a priority in any organization but remains overlooked. Hackers continue to concentrate on web-based applications – shopping carts, forms, login pages, dynamic content, etc. Web applications are accessible 24/7 and control valuable data since they often have direct access to back-end data. Any defense at network security level will provide no protection against web application attacks since they are launched on port 80 – which has to remain open. In addition, web applications are often tailor-made therefore tested less than off-the-shelf software and are more likely to have undiscovered vulnerabilities.
