I am not sure what your real problem is, Ulli, but many antivirus programs can be TEMPORARILY shut off. Not highly recommended, of course, but if you properly disable it on a newly rebooted system running little, and it still happens, then something else may be going on.
If one recognizes your code a potentially having a virus, it may be for an assortment of reasons such as a table it contains to look at position N in the executable for an exact match with some bit-string. If so, one potential fix is a slight change in the code that compiles a bit differently like x=sin(30) or other filler. But consider another possibility that your compiler software is compromised and actually placing something into everything it compiles. Is this happening to only one set of code? You can think of other similar experiments based on your setup that may help you debug and perhaps your problem is something else entirely. -----Original Message----- From: Python-list <python-list-bounces+avigross=verizon....@python.org> On Behalf Of Ulli Horlacher Sent: Thursday, November 25, 2021 12:10 PM To: python-list@python.org Subject: Re: pyinstaller wrong classified as Windows virus Chris Angelico <ros...@gmail.com> wrote: > Unfortunately, if you're not going to go to the effort of getting your > executables signed I cannot sign my executables (how can I do it anyway?), because Windows deletes my executable as soon as I have compiled them!

I cannot do that because my users do not have Python installed and they are not allowed to do it. -- Ullrich Horlacher Server und Virtualisierung Rechenzentrum TIK Universitaet Stuttgart E-Mail: horlac...@tik.uni-stuttgart.de Allmandring 30a Tel: ++49-711-68565868 70569 Stuttgart (Germany) WWW: http://www.tik.uni-stuttgart.de/ -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
