Recommended Posts

Good day to all. I'm new to this site & forum, and this post is to ask for guidance.

Earlier I downloaded BIOS upgrade for my Dell Inspiron 15 5000 Series laptop from Dell. I'm running Win10 and also have Norton Security.  My Malwarebytes app detected and designated the following files as "suspicious":

Hello. The BIOS file which was downloaded (& installed by the Dell app) is Bios_IMG.rcv and Bios_IMG.rcv.lnk , neither of which type is in the acceptable list noted here.

Thank you,

 

 

You will need to zip them. No password please.
