When this started, 8am yesterday morning, very few AV sites showed it as a PUP. Rather different today though the vast majority, including many majors like BitDefender, say it's clean.

This did enable me to get the file and add it to the exceptions but unsurprisingly Defender still killed it when I tried to run it. Might have to forget it but I will have a look around first to see if there's anything out there from others.

Defender is finding and deleting the download before I'm able to add it to the exclusions. I'll see if I can find it some other way.

Thanks guys, I'll see if it can be added to the exclusions list. No too bothered if that turns out to be a bad move, there's nothing like a Macrium image for seeing off malware :-)

Yes, first thing I did. It is not infected. I do use it from time to time but nowhere near as thorough as WiseCare, so no, not instead of. Scan with Malwarebytes about weekly. Always clean.

It's a Lafite 14 and was configured by PC Specialist in the UK. Think I'll ask them if they know anything about it.

Not on this machine. Purchased new in Nov 21 with Win 11 Pro and never messed about with at all.

LTIBootstrap.vbs is sitting in my C: drive. No idea what it does but Defender doesn't object to it and my system doesn't seem to have any issues. Do I need to do anything? I could try removing it and restoring an image afterwards if all OK. Any ideas?

For years I used TeamViewer simply to enable me to use the Win10 PC upstairs from my Win 11 laptop in the lounge where we spend most of our time.. It always worked faultlessly though I had constantly to ensure TV on the PC never got updated beyond v13. Then I discovered that Remote Desktop...
