Long list of threats in Windows Defender after using Kali Linux

I'm using Windows 10 v1909 and a month ago I downloaded Kali Linux on VMware on my PC.

I recently did a full scan of my PC with Windows Defender, which resulted in a long list of threats (100+, most of them exploits or Trojans). Trying to fix the problem with Windows Defender resulted in contacting a Windows IT tech who helped me delete all the threats.

• Could the threats originate from Kali Linux exploits being interpreted as threats?
• Could Windows Defender detect BurpSuite, which I also used, via wifi?

The Kali linux .iso file is detected as malware by Windows Defender, and for good reason: it contains malware that you can use to infect computers. Try removing the .iso file and running Windows Defender again.
