The same thing happens when Julia v1.5.4 is installed and then called by Atom/Juno. While pre-compiling packages, Cisco AMP quarantines julia.exe.
We have reported this to Cisco. Hopefully they will fix this?
This will explain some odd behavior on managed computers, as julia.exe keeps disappearing.
JuliaPro 1.4.1-1 seems okay, but it is possible that a new install of this version would also get flagged.
I believe this issue might have just recently been addressed - but I am unsure if your copy of AMP has the most recent checks installed.
Suggestion
Try it out Today to see if it works. If not: try again next week.
More suggestions
Try out Julia v1.6.3 (non-pro) first. That one works for me.
FYI: I found an alternative solution that might just work if you are somewhat comfortable with Linux systems/command line.
