what malwarebyte detected is not a virus its a PUM potentially unwanted modification . its harmless u may hav tweaked ur system via winaero tweaker or similar program which hav the ability to disable MRT via registry change u can read more about this in this article
and for virus total results all threat detected are false positive as this program has ability to disable microsoft defender and other system function to yield more performance as u can read in virus total> ikarus result section the threat detected is labeled as bat.disabler which explains tht . if u r still curious u can see the source code of the program and also its used by lot of people and my tech people recommends it
