Some AVs have an issue with PyInstaller: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/4269

I've also seen some AVs having an issue with QT dlls, probably because some malware used them at some point.

Antivirus software can have random positives, and for niche software they might not correct that.

But it is a good reason to only run stuff that has a pgp-signed checksum.

Like mentioned by toyg, AV engines are really overzealous when it comes to PyInstaller executables :(

Not much I can do about that, but I opened https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/6081 to send a couple of appeals whenever I'm bored enough to do so.

If the Anti Virus spits out something with "Gen" or similiar in the name it's some atodetection bullshit and you should take it up with your antivirus vendor instead of botherung anyone else.
