Having problems Mikrotik PXE

Does anyone have a clean copy of TinyPXE? When I try to download it for installing some Mikrotik devices my antivirus software is warning me that the TinyPXE installation available online contains a virus. 

Any help/advice would be greatly welcomed at this stage.

Alternatively has anyone used a different PXE application which they would recommend?

Which A/V are you using.
Does your A/V tell you which virus has infected the online version of pxesrv.zip?
If yes, which virus?

I don't have Windows, so I have no clue if it is 'clean'.

Most likely there is no
Most likely there is no actual problem.  I've installed TinyPXE Server on many machines ... no issues. 

Are you getting a warning on the download of the install file, or when trying to extract the .exe and files?  Microsoft automatically warns you of non existent problems anytime you try to install a piece of software that they haven't officially approved.  Perhaps your machine is already infected with something, or you went to some off brand mirror web location to get it?  In any case TinyPXE doesn't actually install as a Windows program like most do, it is a tiny executable that just runs from a folder.  Should be no problem.

I was having the same issue,
I was having the same issue, it's a Windows Defender problem where it blocks the download and doesn't even give you the opportunity to accept. 
I ended up downloading it from GitHub: GitHub - erwan2212/tinypxeserver
Click the green Code button, then download zip.
