My antivirus program does not allow me to pkg install -forge io

[Mariano]

Hello,
I am running octave 5.1.0 64 bits on Windows 10-64 bits.
When trying to install io I get the output pasted below. I also get a
warning message of TrendMicro about a conftest.exe

I would not like to stop my antivirus to install anything.
Any idea?
Thanks
Mariano
