Prevent scary Powershell usage (Triggering a Virus warning)

What variant of Codex are you using?

App (Windows)

What feature would you like to see?

So I was designing a simple multi-player game and instructed Codex to create a local test server. It automatically choose to implement one using PowerShell script and ran it automatically.

Within seconds Microsoft Defender virus warnings started popping up with a warning about some auto-click virus.

I steered codex mid-work to address this and the reply was kinda funny, it wrote that what it does fits perfectly within Microsoft Defender's heuristics of a Virus's behavior.

I'm not sure if this can be addressed without neutering the model, but I thought you'd want to know.
