Older Dell computers, BIOS update, malwarebytes says you have a virus
On older dell laptops or computers , updating the bios you will get a virus, that only malwarebytes will pick up. I have updated many older laptops bios, models from 2012- 2016. Every single time i will get a virus and have to delete it with malwarebytes. Now if you have a computer from 2019 or so, i update the bios, and run a scan and nothing shows up. I think this is done on purpose trying to get rid of old computers, and buying a newer or new one. I for sure will not let the support install all the drivers, then you will get about 3 of them, and can never get them off. I have done this many times. experiment for yourself see if you find the same thing as i did

Sounds like whatever boot media you have needs to be wiped and rebuilt and is the cause of the problem (assuming it's a real problem and not a false positive alert).
