Recognized as a virus

[arady22]

Whenever I try to run the script I get a message that it was detected as a virus by Microsoft defender and many other anti-viruses.
Is there a fix/explanation for this?

this is expected, ADRecon is discovery tool used by PenTester and malicious actors from time to time so Microsoft Defender identifies it because it's use could be malicious.
you need to allowlist it in Microsoft Defender.
