Actually, we are a Python Forum and not a part of the Python Organization. If you feel that there is a bug in the software, you should report it to https://bugs.python.org/, giving as much detail as possible.
That said, version 3.2.4 has been out for quite some time (consider they are now at 3.6.4) and has been installed perhaps thousands of times and there have not been any bugs reported concerning viruses. You mention only using one virus detection tool, which would lead me to think it was a false positive, particularly if the file and key match. You didn't mention which version of Windows you are running or why you are trying to run such an old version of Python but you might want to try a second virus detector and see if you get the same result.

If it ain't broke, I just haven't gotten to it yet.
