I’ve emailed MiniTool support but haven’t yet had a reply.
EDIT: I also downloaded MiniTool Partition Wizard Free from the MajorGeeks website. It’s the same version and same filename but a different filesize. I checked it using VirusTotal and this second download also shows problems.
Further reading around suggests that v10.3 has introduced adware to itself. I found the previous version (10.2.2) and this passed VirusTotal checks completely.
