I've added a note.

    * Windows users: Some virus scanners (most notably "Microsoft
    Security Essentials") are flagging
    "Lib/distutils/command/wininst-14.0.exe" as malware. This is a
    "false positive": the file does not contain any malware. We build it
    ourselves, from source, on a known-clean system. We've asked that
    this false positive report be removed, and expect action soon. In
    the meantime, please don't be alarmed to see this warning when
    installing Python 3.5.2, or when scanning any earlier version of 3.5.

p.s. the "oops" was about missing files, not about the false positive 
for malware.
