    MSFT Defender has scanned it and found no problems.

    Any thoughts as to what it might be? I'll download Malwarebytes and use

    Malwarebytes didn't flag it but it doesn't like "PowerISO8-x64.exe" which
    is legitimate s/w but the installer always offers a couple of things I
    don't want, even though It's a paid version.
