Since this is a new install, I don't even know where mbam.exe came from,
where I don't use Cortana search so I ran the classic "salonb" command:
c:\ dir /s/a/s/on/b c:\tmp\salonb.txt

Correction on the "salonb" options (which are extremely useful!).

The dir salonb options I ran to look for mbam.exe were "/s/a/l/on/b":
cd c:\
dir /s/a/l/on/b c:\tmp\salonb.txt

Where, if I had wanted to, a findstr for the exe could have been attached:
dir /s/a/l/on/b c:\*.* | findstr "mbem.exe"

There was no mbem.exe extent.

It's a new installation of Windows 10 Pro, version 1909, so there isn't
even the Windows Defender running yet (as it's still almost fully default).
