New Feature Description
Hello, again me. In windows 11, defender does not like the PyInstaller version 6.X.X. If user change their PyInstaller version to 5.x.x currently latest one is 5.13.2 Windows Defender won`t cause any false positive alert. Maybe we can inform the user if they have faced some kind of alert caused by their antivirus?
Basically the problem caused by the --windowed parameter in pyinstaller. Also we can add some information on this parameter frontend side? The PyInstaller5 is using different "python windowed" src. So..

Looks like you're seeing something similar to this: https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/7967
I wouldn't say Pyinstaller 5.X.X is "better" - just that the binaries in the outputs can be different and seen differently by different antivirus vendors.
@mcagriaksoy commented on GitHub (Mar 22, 2024):
So, what do you think can we add some information message somewhere else?
For example, for windows defender is angry when we use pyinstaller 6.x.x with windowed feature.
For example, for avast is angry when we use icon option.
and so on..

I can chuck some notes in the help post under the "My Antivirus Detected the exe as a Virus" section.
Aside from those two points, are you aware of anything else specific? Or maybe other GitHub issues that discuss these specifics more?
@brentvollebregt commented on GitHub (Mar 22, 2024):
Also looking for an existing GitHub issue of this one,
Was that just an example or an example of an actual thing that could be added (something that is happening)?
@mcagriaksoy commented on GitHub (Mar 22, 2024):
Yes, I have seen the virus alert on Avast antivirus when I set the icon on .exe. Also some people mentioned that problem here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43777106/program-made-with-pyinstaller-now-seen-as-a-trojan-horse-by-avg

I'm not keen to recommend not adding an icon, but have added a couple of good answers from that SO question - thank you!
