I'm getting the same when trying to download on a machine that has real-time protection enabled in windows defender. Turns out it's a known and very common false positive to a trojan script.

To download, temporarily disable "real-time protection" in "windows virus & threat protection settings".  To be 100% sure the executable is safe, unpack the zip and scan the exe file manually with an antivirus of your choice.

It's annoying but it is what it is. 

I did pack the zip file with 7-zip which is listed as one of possible causes of this false positive. The next update will be packed with some other zipper just to exclude this as a possible cause.

If you haven't already, try the Windows focused fork, nanazip: https://github.com/M2Team/NanaZip
Can be installed on Windows from the Windows Store.

Thanks. I will. although it seems that it may not be originating from the zip after all but from Godot files themselves. The problem is that I cannot reproduce the false positive consistently. Sometimes it happens even on my dev machine and often times it doesn't. Quite frustrating!
