However this result is achieved... maybe some other malware has been built with pyinstaller and so this malware checker finds some similarities?

Apparently this mostly hits the 32 Bit version of Windows. :-(

I tried building with UPX which lead to non-executable binaries.
Often one finds building new bootloaders for pyinstaller which is internally used for packaging but none of the supported compilers built a new bootloader for me, so I am kind of clueless what to do here. Only hope might be that there are more 64 bit users than 32 bit ones...

Symantec Endpoint Proctection says the same.
He talks about "WS.Reputation.1" which means he thinks the executable is suspicous.
File : Nagstamon-3.2-win64_setup.exe

Easy to counter as we just need to ignore the warning or in my case, taking back the file from the Symantec vault.
But it can afraid people.

I managed to compile the bootloaders of pyinstaller for windows myself which lead to different file hashes. Can you check again from download page? All Windows packages are replaced.

Same for me with Symantec E. P., alway this @%+*% WS.Reputation.1

But Symantec E. P, flag nearly all the .exe from open source software i download, with this as it's based on a reputation score.
