This just popped up, potentially unwanted app found. Detected MiniTool_Partition_Wizard_Bundleinstaller?? Tried Remove, Quarantine - does not remove the Yellow Triangle. Anybody else seen this?? False positive?? Had 2 instances, blocked the first one.
Not exactly a false positive, more a precaution as MiniTool bundle optional apps from their partners in their installer. See this thread, in particular post #2 from MiniToolSupport themselves.
Minitool Partition Wizard Triggers Defender Virus Alert
This can be avoided by using the portable version of MPW MiniTool Portable Partition Magic Brings Easier Disk Management
HI,
Uninstall and get this version no crapware just don't update when prompted
Download MiniTool Partition Wizard Free 11.5 for Windows - Filehippo.com
Select Allow on device instead.
Or use the offline installer - that's what I did. It's 28MB rather than the mere 4MB of the standard one that creates this alert.

Perhaps unrelated or not?? Malwarebytes is alerting me that there is a gap in my protection. Malware Protection is turned off and will not turn back on, just spins as if it cannot find something.
On a second note, tried to uninstall MTP, no record in apps or in the control panel? I did discover that in program files, that when you up date apparently, the new version does not uninstall the old versions. I had ver 9,10,11,and 12 still there, erased them then reinstalled MTP 12.1 and let Revo Uninstaller have a go at it. It found a lot of scattered files/registry entries, which I deleted.
Will be working thru the suggestions above, tx to all.
