red flag from antiviruses #157

I used this lib in my py file, and then I converted the py file to exe. I got a red flag from Windows Defender. I uploaded the exe file to the virus total website, lots of antiviruses detect it as a virus (or trojan), while I know that my code is safe.

@Khoshbayani I am not sure how I could help, since I am not creating and I do not support .exe file.

I am providing just the library and script. It might be caused by the fact that I urlextract is downloading list of TLDs. Otherwise I am completely sure that code I that is part of this repository does not do any harmful stuff.

Is this caused by your packaging tool? I know that the Pyinstaller and Nuitka could trigger false virus alerts.
Nuitka even documented this issue
