It looks like python applications packaged by PyInstaller get flagged as a false-positive by AVG / VirusTotal. It seems like this has been an issue for some time. We can consider packaging it with py2exe.

For me it's not important. But for windows users you can recommend two ways:

1st. install python from https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ and then use standart pip install from cmd(or from custom bash) and then use app commands from documentation. or 2nd. download compiled .exe file, but better if its be without trojans ;-)

Thanks for your job!

Maybe include this in the installation docs.

You encounter the same problem if you try to install it with pip on Windows Bash. I had to temporarily disable Windows Defender (https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/4027187/windows-10-turn-off-windows-defender-antivirus).

So I was able to download it through Internet Explorer, but when I ran the exe I got the following warning in OfficeScan : Virus/Malware: TROJ_GEN.R002C0SCG18 File: User\Downloads\pyportify-0.4.1\pyportify-copyall.exe Result: Virus successfully detected, cannot perform the Clean action (Quarantine is successful at agent, but unable to send the quarantined file to the designated quarantine folder)
