Defender labeled this as a "Severe" threat with the recommended action of "Remove this software immediately. So, after numerous attempts to have Defender remove this threat, it never did. It runs and runs, finally declaring that it's unable to remove it.
In researching this issue, I find that it's being falsely tagged as a threat by Defender. Defender no longer will run to a "Clean" ending. The fan is running hard and the computer is hot as a result.
