🔒 Preventing “Wacatac” Trojan

[thin glacier]

Hello, does anyone know how to prevent the "wacatac" Trojan from occurring when users run my .exe file? However, my .exe file is not a virus. Note that I converted a Python script to an .exe.

Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Closes after a period of inactivity, or when you send !close.

It pretty much always happens with pyinstaller executables. Don't use pyinstaller, or use pyinstaller but don't use --onefile, or just tell your users to ignore it.
