How to turn off Security popup "These files might be harmful to your computer"

I am having a strange security popup. The error occurs when copying files from one folder to another folder on a mapped network drive. If I have (2) File Explorer windows open and try to drag and drop copy/paste from one file explorer window directory to another directory on the same mapped drive, I get a Windows Security popup stating "These files might be harmful to your computer" ""Your internet security settings suggest that one or more files may be harmful. Do you want to use it anyway?" I can click OK and it will copy the files, but the popup is annoying when doing this activity often.


If I only use (1) Windows File Explorer window and copy the files from one directory and then navigate to the new directory on the same mapped drive, the files will paste without the Windows Security popup.


What do I need to do to fix this?
