I've actually had an intermediate binary get flagged by Windows Defender, quarantining it. But later builds didn't trip anything, at least on my computer. It's most likely due to the...

I did the simple refactor, and no reduction in the False Positives. I've found that "Riskware" means that while not inherently dangerous, the software exposes some security vulnerabilities. I've restricted...

All `eval()` statements allowing users to run arbitrary code were removed. [VirusTotal still gives the same results. ](https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/58ff4ac0b0115d39bd80f28d85b17f7fe885e3887cf2794dfce20286a2bec7d1/detection). I'm starting to get out of my depth here. If anyone knows...

Still getting Windows Defender false positives as of 1.7.0. Attempting to solve by updating PyInstaller. EDIT: [This made it worse...](https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/d4a01e6f301c4439fe040f14951a401eda52e4e22067a27994261cd67dcbea11/detection)

[Tried compiling PyInstaller locally to 3.5.](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53584395/how-to-recompile-the-bootloader-of-pyinstaller) [Still doesn't work.](https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/baa333c8a1ddac5dcfe8256912cca7775f85be0dc074617cc9830a32bf2e85aa/detection)

I've self-signed the code, and that seems to help. [I've gone from 8/71 to 5/71 positives on VirusTotal](https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/8f0420f0a88c37bef72aab73758e105917f0dbcc1fcca086b85f338bfce81d8e/detection). Most notably, McAfee, Trapmine, and Sophos ML have all cleared the binary....

Submitted False Positive reports to a ton of AV companies. Hopefully most FPs will be cleared up in the coming months.

I ran a full system virus scan with no results, so my dev machine isn't compromised. I also created a new Virtual Environment and recompiled fresh with that. No real...

VT has added an engine called "Microsoft". I think it might be Windows Defender. Either way, it's a positive on that too... https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/eccd7c0a2df8e8f35c12c842f5559eecb71a5c60c5b2c6d59086a5eae9a44008/detection https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aY8IILdds911zwglkoYX7ktnAbuRu0gutZC1gi_FCSM/edit#gid=0

@tort32 You're certainly right. My software _looks_ a lot like a virus. That's partially why I added the pip option; for those who want to make sure the source on...
