Hello! I tried to convert from .PY (Python file) to .EXE (Executable). But if I ejected it, the AntiVirus says this program is malware.

File converted to EXE: pythoncolorama.py

Malware type: Wacatac.B!ml (trojan)

But the Antivirus could remove it automatically. Why am I facing this issue?

Hello, I'm A&K, here to help.

This is because your exe file doesn't have a digital signature and antivirus software can't verify that it came from a trusted developer. You can add the directory to exclusions to prevent deletion.

    Sorry, I'm not very proficient with Python. This is a consumer community, I recommend that you ask this question in the relevant professional community.
