Malwarebytes AdwCleaner finds my hard link (aka directory junction) as a threat.
Why is this? Or is it normal for this type of links to be considered a threat by such programs? And if it's not normal, what should I do about it?
Windows 7 SP1 x86
Many thanks!

It may not matter in this case but it looks to me that symlinks, hardlinks and directory junctions are different animals. You seem to confuse all three.

And I'm not sure about terminology, but for example, this article called "The Complete Guide to Creating Symbolic Links" uses the term hard link for /J, saying that it's also knows as a directory junction: https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16226/complete-guide-to-symbolic-links-symlinks-on-windows-or-linux/
