Put yourself in the noob's place -
someone tells you about some SW that's supposed to be the greatest thing since indoor plumbing, so you D/L it and your AV goes nuts like that time you got that drive-by malware from a porn site.
What do you think your first reaction would be?
What I was trying to get across was that Windows Defender doesn't quarantine the SW you need for mining. (source: personal experience)
I get it - you mean well, and your defense is passionate. Crypto is great, and noob-friendly SW is laudable as an easy entrance point.
The trick is to be a reasonable advocate without becoming a full on fanboy.
The problem with AV and crypto isn't that the AV is lousy - it isn't - if anything, AV is too good.
Anyway, have a good day ☺️
