python.exe is malware?

Description

When i update Avast Anti-virus in my computer, it detects that python.exe is a malware, namely: Win32:Alman!.

I'd use portable python for Django projects. And now it detects by some anti-virus program as malware.

Please correct if I'd wrong.

Thanks.

  • keywords virus added; malware? removed
  • status changed from new to closed
  • resolution set to invalid

This can happen because of two reasons:

1.) your PC was already infected before you started using Portable Python and infection got also on python.exe. If you check virus description:

"The virus infects all write accessible Windows executable files (PE-EXE) on all disks on the victim computer and in accessible network folders."

2.) you set your virus scanner on heuristic mode and this is false positive.
