SCP software flagged as a Trojan by Windows?

I do have to voice some concern as to the virus warnings as mentioned here.  This is a big issue now as Windows 10 immediately deletes the downloaded file, doesn't even let it be quarantined, and in doing so prevents us from being able to upgrade firmware when needed.  The virus programs are flagging the software because they actually find the signatures of these viruses embedded in your compressed .exe.  Way too many nasty viruses out there already, unfortunately more are coming.  I'm not ready to take the chance to lower my systems defenses to allow this through.

 You have a great piece of hardware, perhaps it is time to look for a different delivery method that would not produce the warning and would put us all at ease.

Edit:  Added attachments.  The first says that the file was quarantined but the second indicates that it was deleted instead.
