I am distributing an app built with pyinstaller and a user reported that his AVG antivirus would not allow him to execute the app because it "had a trojan." This is surely the same as reported on this list 4 Sept, see also ticket #619.
In investigating this I installed the latest level of Parallels internet security on the Parallels VM where I build the windows version of the app. This AV system (Kaspersky 13.something) also detects the "Swrort" trojan in pyinstaller-r2000\support\loader\Windows-32bit\run.exe and runw.exe. This is unfortunate because now I can no longer run pyinstaller on windows at all! As soon as it tries to open run.exe during a build, Kaspersky steps in and deletes the file, and pops up a message about how it saved me from this trojan. For what it's worth, the Microsoft Malicious Software removal program scanned the system and found no problems. Whatever it is in run.exe and runw.exe that are triggering this false positive needs to be fixed. Windows is basically dead in the water for now. I have put the above info in a comment on ticket #619 but thought I'd run it by the mailing list in case anyone has any idea how to work around it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PyInstaller" group.
