Seurat/RSpectra virus or unwanted software flag

[eirianc]

I am trying to learn to use the Seurat library in R. However, when trying to load it in R, it gives the error:
package or namespace load failed for ‘Seurat’ in library.dynam(lib, package, package.lib):
DLL ‘RSpectra’ not found: maybe not installed for this architecture?

I installed and loaded RSpectra to fix this issue, however upon trying again to load Seurat, it gives the error: package or namespace load failed for ‘Seurat’ in inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...):
unable to load shared object 'C:/Users/thcro/AppData/Local/Programs/R/R-4.5.1/library/RSpectra/libs/x64/RSpectra.dll':
LoadLibrary failure: Operation did not complete successfully because the file contains a virus or potentially unwanted software.

My anitvirus software also flags it as a malicious app and blocks it from running. However, I have installed and loaded all of these through R itself, not via the web. Additionally, many members of my lab use Seurat regularly without any issues. Has anyone else ever had this issue?
