I faced the same problem before. It occurs when you convert your files (like images and icons) into a python file through Qt qrc resources feature. This encoded python file triggers a false alarm.

I solved it by using the classical files handling technique through runw.spec file.

Actually MBAM (Malwarebytes Anti-Malware), McAfee, Avast antivirus detects the pyinstaller file as dangerous it has happened to me with both MBAM (Malwarebytes Anti-Malware) and McAfee anttivirus detects it as dangerous!

Realizing this is an old thread...

if you have access to the ePO console, you can set a policy to skip scanning pyinstaller. That will prevent this from becoming flagged as a virus.

I'd recommend reinstalling pyinstaller3 and preventing McAfee from deleting the bootloader file. I'd go as far as to switch antivirus software if this isn't possible.
