I see. Well, it's a false positive. Talking to other devs they say it's likely because ren'py has the ability to connect to the internet to download game updates, so some anti-virus softwares will see that and immediately flag it until the game has been verified and approved by them.

ah see that's your problem. Norton Antivirus sucks and is counterproductive to what it claims to be doing, which is blocking viruses.
