An antivirus tends to act on a signature, where it can be something they recognize or something the av engine expects (heuristics).
That means it still can be your AV as it will behave different with other binaries.
But you do raise a valid concern.

Are you signing your binaries?

Also have you submitted one of the "offending" binaries to virustotal to see what it returns?

re. Can't uninstall the AV. I bet someone can. You also only need to do that in order to dismiss the AV being the cause.
So it can be temporary and without having the PC connected to a network (if you can login to your machine without a network connection).
