No it's not.

The code is available for everyone to see, anyone who knows code can see that there's nothing bad in there.

The thing is, that's what happens when your computer sees an executable out of nowhere. If you don't trust me, do the test for yourself:

Create a simple print program Install pyinstaller to create an exe out of it. Upload the exe on a website that scans for viruses... guess what? The website will tell you it's full of viruses while it's only a program that prints something...

That's how I created the executable, maybe there's a better way than pyinstaller that would avoid that,but I don't really know much about that unfortunately...

Also, the fact that the code uses something that takes control of your mouse probably doesn't help either...
