This can be closed as not a bug or issue in Kali.

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

This is not a real issue. However, our documentation pages will be getting updated documenting this and explaining how to work around it.
