Hi Tom,

Pharo Launcher downloads VMs as a zip archive (HTTP GET) and then extract it to 
the desired path.
Probably Kaspersky puts a flag on files downloaded from the web until you 
explicitly give your approbation that it is not a malicious software.
Maybe you can configure Kaspersky to whitelist Pharo Launcher downloads?
Check https://support.kaspersky.com/KAV/2020/en-us/68499.htm , sections On all 
websites except those specified /  <>Manage exclusions <>

Regards,
Christophe.
