I'm having this issue where I try to download the mod and windows tells me it won't allow me due to a virus being detected.

just click allow anyways. it should work

Assuming you're downloading it from one of the official sources, and there isn't actually is a virus in there (meaning it's just another false positive, of which I've by now gotten so many that alarm fatigue has long set in), there's nothing I can do about that.
You need to complain to Microsoft about it.
