Yeh, I know I get that too. I don't know what specifically it is, but there is loads of stuff in the LitDev.dll including for example the networking server stuff AB is using or other things that generic antivirus probably don't like.
I can say it is safe if you download directly from my site (e.g. using SB-Prime from my site) and the code is open source on GitHub.
What I do is using Windows Security->Virus & threat protection->Exclusions, then add an exclusion for the folder where I store all SmallBasic files (A sub folder of Documents). I then save any SB file I want to run, if I download the file I check it first, uncomment File commands as necessary, being sure about what it is doing. Some-one could write a program to delete stuff!
I don't run Small Basic programs without saving first - if you don't save then they run in %temp%, over time clogging it up as SB doesn't clean up after itself. Also I wouldn't put an anti-virus exclusion for %temp% folder.
