Re: [Py2exe-users] Trojan horse detected in py2exe/py2exe generated apps

[Jeff P. <jef...@ya...>]

Is there a way to get around this problem until the AV companies fix it? I have users that will be unhappy if they download my executable and think there is a virus attached.

thanks,
Jeff

Yup.  Somebody apparently wrote a trojan using py2exe, and the
dim-witted trojan detectors think that anying bundled using
that (and possibly other) version of pyexe is a trujan.

Get the vendors of "security" programs to fix them.
