Code compiled using pyinstaller or py2exe is often incorrectly to be malware or a virus or a trojan by various antivirus programs. It can often have scary names like Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.C!ml.

This is most likely what is known in the virus industry as a “false positive”. Your code might not be doing anything malicious, but because it was compiled in a way that looks a bit like other code which might do malicious things antivirus judges it to be a virus.
