Re: [Py2exe-users] link checksum and avast

[Mark H. <ski...@gm...>]

This is due to how py2exe works - it uses a pre-built stub and appends 
data to it without attempting to change any checksums. There's not much 
you can do about that (and probably no value in avast flagging it as a 
problem either - AV software seems to be in a race to the bottom)
