Thanks for the report. I think it's a false positive and the md5 you have 
attached matches with the official release of 2.7.14 installer that you can 
verify from https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2714/. There were 
similar cases reported and for the most part they are mostly false positives 
that have to be reported to the antivirus vendor so that they update the 
signature.

BitDefender reporting msi installer as a virus :

Similar case with virustotal.com for 2.17.2 msi installer :

Thanks

[Brett Rasmussen]

New submission from Brett Rasmussen :

The antivirus program 'AVG Business Edition' reported that the file 
python-2.7.14.amd64.msi contained "Trojan horse SCGeneric_c6.HJQ".

The virustotal.com web site reported a match on MD5
  370014d73c3059f610c27365def62058  for file python-2.7.14.amd64.msi

  (i.e. Baidu  Win32.Trojan.WisdomEyes.16070401...)

Hopefully these are just 'false positives' ?

Thanks,
BR
