This detection is for the new Norton Crypto feature in the latest version of 360 that is explained in this product announcement.

It is not surprising that Malwarebytes or any other malware scanner might flag this file to protect users from unwanted apps from stealing your CPU cycles for crypto mining. So you need to report this Malwarebytes detection as a false positive to Malwarebytes.

The reason Malwarebytes cannot remove this detected file is the Norton Product Tamper Protection  feature protecting the valid Norton file.
