When I compile my Python program with PyInstaller and give it to a user

How can I prevent this message which confuses my users?

You can either sign your executable using the signtool and a certificate from a trusted source (which costs $$$), or you can have the user allow installation of applications from "untrusted" sources; e.g.:
