I have an issue with downloading nmap on Kali Linux running as Windows 10 subsystem.

I tried running /sudo apt-get install nmap/ and got error while unpacking downloaded .deb package. Windows reported package to be a Trojan threat and quarantined it.

Can you please tell me, am I doing something wrong or have I just discovered an issue?

Technically neither. Psexec is a legitimate component of the Nmap package and Windows is reasonably classifying it as a potential attack tool.

Cheers,
