Virus Detected (Make Exclusion in Defender)


You need to make an exclusion in your Antivirus software. I like to make a new folder and exclude it then download the zip file to that folder. 


Here is how to do it in Windows Defender:
  1. Select Start  , then open Settings  . Under Privacy & security  , select Virus & threat protection.
  2. Under Virus & threat protection settings, select Manage settings, and then under Exclusions, select Add or remove exclusions.
  3. Select Add an exclusion, and then select from files, folders, file types, or process. A folder exclusion will apply to all subfolders within the folder as well.

I also did a video explaining why this gets flagged here: https://youtu.be/MuBeblbUXpU
