There is an issue with Windows Defender incorrectly recognizing Saturn Affinity as a Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.* family of malware.
Many people will be concerned by the behavior of Windows Defender, so this issue needs to be solved.

Currently, it appears that three antiviruses are falsely detecting Saturn Affinity as malware.
pyinstaller/pyinstaller#5854
There is a comment that this is a PyInstaller issue and that using an older version of PyInstaller may mitigate the issue. I will try this workaround.

Switching the version of PyInstaller to 5.7.0 worked around the issue.
