Virus Detected (Fake?) in Windows #1

In Windows 11, when you 'Download Zip' form github, Windows Defender flags the zip file as a virus and blocks it. Interestingly, however, Defender does not block the files when using 'git clone' in PowerShell.

The only file I can think of that will trigger the windows defender is the chromedriver. Otherwise you can explore all the other .py files to make sure they are valid.
