This seems to be a very common issue with Windows executables built by PyInstaller:

Will investigate to see if there's something I can do.

Did a bit of triage with various PyInstaller versions and it seems 4.0 unflags most of the false positives: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/653fd25c774c0dcf5c08aa8245ab327064bffd93da9c3ec315013438f47decbb/detection
All newer versions exhibit the same behaviour as above (was built with 4.3).

Should be fixed by f6142d2.
