Windows 10: I wanna know what 'VirTool:Win32/DefenderTamperingRestore' exactly is and is it malicious

I wanted to check my laptop before reinstall windows.I used malwarebytes scanning which only spends 5 minutes, and MSERT 1.391.3187.0 spends several hours to detect it,I saw malwarebytes says nothing, and MSERT says VirTool:Win32/DefenderTamperingRestore detected and removed.And I also checked another computer, more seems to be compromised ... but it detects nothing with MSERT 1.391.3199.0 and malwarebytes.One thing I concerning is, infected? computer been through twice 'reset this pc' with 'remove everything',And after that I did almost nothing with it, I mean, most of time it was turned

Win32/DefenderTamperingRestore

Hi there.

Anybody can help me with how to clean my computer from this virus:
Win32/DefenderTamperingRestore

Usually, when I run MSERT.exe it says that this virus was eliminated. But I have some questions:

a) Is it a memory-resident malware?

b) Is it launched in my computer startup?

c) Or is it activated when I run some software. How can I know which software is launching it? I guess that MSERT must know.

d) Where it is located?

e) How can I delete it?

f) FINALLY.......IS IT DANGEROUS? (For example, Is my computer safe to use it with my credit card payments)

Hello I am an independent advisor for the Microsoft community. I did a quick search and found that this isn't actually a virus, it's actually Windows Defender notifying you about your settings. Here is the page with more info:
