Virus threat in MongoDB CLI

I am facing an issue when downloading MongoDB CLI on my win10 computer. The Windows virus scanner says there is a "Trojan:Win32/Caynamer.A!ml" in the file I am trying to download and ends the download. Is this threat real?

    The Windows defender version is 4.18.2202.4 and the download link is: https://cloud.mongodb.com/v2/62284672dfe7596b28acbc82#clusters/commandLineTools/Cluster0 and from there the "Install MongoDB CLI" button.
