Pyinstaller Errno 22 Invalid argument:

Trying to convert one of my python files to an EXE for my friends to use with me.

IT worked earlier today. Changed nothing of substance and now im recieving the following error:

278151 ERROR: An error occurred while packaging
Traceback (most recent call last):

    with open(exe, 'rb') as infh:
OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument: 'C:\\Users\\lewy1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\tmpupp0c450\\build\\ProjectEXE\\run.exe.db9ln703'

I noticed that when this error occurs windows defende pops up informing me 'Trojan :Win32/Wacatac.D3!ml' I've never noticed this whilst using pyinstaller previously.

so my question is, does anyone know of any fixes for this issue?

Edit: I have just selected onedir instead of onefile and it has worked. Hoping maybe this could help in the solving of the issue

Thanks to Carlo's comment, it seemed to be evident that it was an antivirus issue. So disabling my antivirus whilst the exe was building did the trick!
