Thanks! This is indeed a false-positive. We use PyInstaller to bundle everything into a single executable, which unfortunately also is a big hit with the malware folks, so occasional false-positives creep in. |

Just downloaded mitmproxy 8.1 for Windows.
AVG blocked the installer when I ran it.
VirusTotal shows AVG and a small number of other AV suppliers have flagged it. I assume it is a false positive but thought it best to let you know.
I have submitted it to AVG for further analysis.
