title: Py2Exe detected as virus. Alternatives?
body: <p>So, I created a python program. Converted to exe using Py2Exe, and tried with PyInstaller and cx_freeze as well. All these trigger the program to be detected as virus by avast, avg, and others on virustotal and on my local machine.</p>
  
  <p>I tried changing to a Hello World script to see if the problem is there but the results are exactly the same.</p>
  
  <p>My question is, what is triggering this detection? The way in which the .exe is created?</p>
  
  <p>If so, are there any other alternatives to Py2exe, Pyinstaller, cx_freeze?  </p>
