Virus Detection From Minion - Should I Be Concerned?

Sinking_Otter
I ran a scan with Malwarebytes and it picked up two threats from the scan, both to do with something called "Malware.Sandbox.1". Both came from Minion and I'm not sure if this is just a false positive of Minion or a sign of something serious. Here is the data from the scan:

    Minion is clean, scanned via multiple anti-virus tools before. This "sandbox" detection is something that multiple softwre got today and could raise a false positive.

    Thanks for the update about Malwarebytes.
