This is a scam, and has a virus inside
Any anti-virus (including Windows Defender) will detect a virus (Trojan) apon downloading the application from it's installer

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS

I installed the latest version but when I try to run it I am told there is a virus in a file. When I run a scan I am told there are no current threats yet it says there is 1 threat found. When I look into protection history it shows nothing. I really do not want to run it as an administrator, I don't like running anything as an administrator. I am attaching screenshots. If this isn't the proper thread, please, let me know.

With this one I right-clicked and scanned it directly with Windows Defender.

disable PUP protectionc(potentially unwanted program/application protection) in windows, it's seperate from your anti virus
