I'm a regular visitor on the MWB and AdwCleaner forums, and my impression is that false-positive reports either get quietly fixed or, more often, quietly ignored.

Yes it's definitely nothing to worry about, I was more surprised than anything that I got a detection! I never used Nero Tune It Up 2021 version so can't say if it's done it before now.
EDIT: Just restarted my PC and now the TuneIt Up icon has been replaced by a generic white box, because I renamed it!
The program still loads when I click it
I only use Nero Tune up as because it has a Duplicate file finder which is useful. I don't use any of the registry cleaner or other stuff, never trust them!
Simple. Don't use Malwarebytes. It loves flagging harmless PUPs to give the user a feeling of it actually providing any benefit. It's a completely unnecessary application that's outlived its expiry date.

It's actually a good app, and I use the free version to do occasional scans. I don't have a problem with it, I'm not worried about a little false positive on a desktop icon

It was very effective at detecting and removing malware back in the days when Windows was vulnerable, but I find it to be a waste of bytes on Windows 10 and 11 and more of a hindrance than a benefit.
Has it even detected and found anything serious for you in the past 5 to 10 years?

I strongly disagree with your statement ! I have used it on many clients & found all kinds of bad "PUPS" ! And i have evn had a few as of last week because of some of the sites i must visit in the cleaning of computers ! JMO
