Windows EXE triggering antivirus false positives

[PeterSurda]

It seems to happen with the 32bit version only. You can verify it by uploading the binary to https://www.virustotal.com/. Tests I did a couple of years ago indicated that this may be triggered by the PyInstaller bootloader, which is use by some malware. Recompiling the bootloader seems to have fixed it but I haven't done recent tests, and the new cross-compiled binaries seem to trigger it again.

It only happens with very few of the AV engines. I had tried submitting false positive removal requests, but in particular the Chinese ones don't have a working method for that.

@Hydrogenpi yes, especially the development snapshots.
