Thanks for the report. I think it's a false positive and the md5 you have attached matches with the official release of 2.7.14 installer that you can verify from https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2714/. There were similar cases reported and for the most part they are mostly false positives that have to be reported to the antivirus vendor so that they update the signature. BitDefender reporting msi installer as a virus : https://bugs.python.org/issue30944 Similar case with virustotal.com for 2.17.2 msi installer : https://github.com/python/pythondotorg/issues/1092 Thanks
