Dear steveje0711, I think kali linux is not for you.
Choose a different Linux distribution.
I wish you much success

More context from 0008270:0017812:

Kali Linux includes multiple files that are considered as "virus" in Windows, which makes sense as that's part of the purpose of this distribution.
We can't fix that on our side, you need to check the settings of your antivirus
