'Edge and Chrome flag pyinstaller as a virus
I created a simple python script to fetch crypto currency prices from website and then saves them to a csv file, the script works fine and flawlessly but when I compile the script and try to send it to someone or just create a release on GitHub it gets flagged as a virus when downloaded in edge and chrome but not brave (didn't test for Firefox) I tried compiling with pyinstaller of different versions 3.6 and the latest release I even tried to compile it myself by downloading the source code from github but it just keeps on getting flagged as virus, then I tried pyarmor-webui and changed some settings I know it uses pyinstaller but I though changing the settings will help but I was wrong
I tried nuikta with different settings but I keep on getting the same result
I followed this writeup but still not successful
I also tried changing the executable metadata with resource hacker and that didn't seem to help
I even tried to test with a simple hello world script and still got the same result how do you fix this
import random
print ("Hello world!")
for i in range(3):
print (random.randrange(0,9))
