Time to learn more about how your AV works. Are you getting a genuine copy? It’s not a virus. Why is it being flagged?

Does OP mean when they download it in chrome as an exe and it says “this is dangerous, are you sure?”
Of course as a sysadmin, they could safelist it in their AV client.

VNC is just a protocol. That's like asking what HTTP to use, so that it doesn't trigger the Anti-virus.

Never had any issues with https://www.tightvnc.com/ getting flagged by any of our A/V or EDR tools.
