TDM has always been getting flagged. It's unsigned and Windows defender doesn't like pyinstaller. For more info, look through issues in the original repo.
Unlike DevilXD, I consider modern Windows Defender good, as it has the largest install base and gets automatically updated, so it has a good library of signatures. Unlike some other antiviruses, it's just not as foolproof, but if you are somewhat educated, things like blocking suspicious websites to not download anything in the first place won't be much use to you.
In case you don't know, you can either confirm the single file in the download menu, or change chrome settings.
Chrome won't even let me bypass it, even with all workaround attempted.
Gets instantly deleted, even with things turned off, or forced download

Then it still might be Windows Defender, check that.
