    When I try running TPT it says "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have appropriate permissions to access the item." then I get a Windows threat protection thing saying there was a threat detected the file that keeps triggering it is called "Pearfoos.A!ml". (The whole path is PUA:Win32/Pearfoos.A!ml)
    What should I do?

    Quoting this comment:

    This is a false positive. It happens every time a new update is released. It will go away after a few days / a week, but for now updating may give this false positive.

    See this post for more information: https://tpt.io/.316959
    The post it geared towards Windows Defender, but the same applies to other antiviruses as well.
