So my program is in the windows start up directory on peoples PC's, everytime they restart their PC they get an error message saying "Windows protected your PC". Similar to this:

Lots of people get suspicious and disallow it to run. My program is just a python file which runs using the pythonw.exe.

Any idea?

If it's professional you could buy a signature to bypass in a certain way Windows SmartScreen

If this is at work you could try and add your script to a white list. Be aware that you're requiring people to have Python installed for this to run. On the flip side, you could do some testing. Perhaps Windows auto-blocks any pythonw script. If you can get a simple hello world working then you should try and obfuscate your code to bypass behavioral and signature based detection.
