    Mini tool partition wizard a threat?


    I have Mini Tool Partition Wizard on all my pc's. When I opened the free version on this pc, it prompted me to update to the latest version which was not unexpected, and as I went through the update process which was exactly the same as updates in the past, Windows Security killed it dead. Trying to find out more, I couldn't find any reference to the actual name of the program. Any*Eek thoughts?

    :)

    Using mini tool partition wizard to migrate from HDD to SSD

    I notice there is a migrate OS to SSD option in Mini tool partition wizard.

    What I want to do is to move only the System and C partition ( which contain Windows 10 and programs ) to the SSD. The HDD capacity is 1 TB vs 500GB for the SSD

    The HDD is partitioned into System ( 128mb ) , C ( where OS resides is approx 108GB) , F G etc
    System + C is less than 110GB.

    If I elect to chose the Move OS to another disk and keep the original HDD option ,
    Will Minitool partition wizard only copy system and C over to the SSD ?

    Mini Tool Partition Wizzard & McAfee

    I noticed that when doing an update to Mini Tool Partition Wizard, that McAfee Web Advisor will try and install along with it if you don't uncheck it first.

    Did an Adobe Flash update yesterday and McAfee Web advisor tried to install with it also. *Eek

    Mini-Tool Partition Wizard Riskware?

    Mini tool is up to date and for the last 2-3 times I ran it, Malware Bytes is reporting Malicious Website, Cateroty:Riskware from them. False positive I hope.
