Brian, welcome to these public User Forums.

You have Acronis Active Protection enabled on your PC which is why the error is being given as it considers any attempt to modify the Master Boot Record (MBR) as a potential malware action.  You will either need to set a protection exclusion for the Windows Disk Imager tool, or else turn AAP off while using it.
