15 R3/17 R4, 1.9.0 BIOS update

Question

Alienware_15_R3_17_R4_1.9.0 BIOS update Noted the critical security update for the BIOS via the AlienWare notification.  That install just spun and spun.  Downloaded the driver from Dell, verified the checksum, and when I run it the warning that pop up state: - Warning :Tool will forces to suspend Bitlocker before flashing. click ok To ensure that no other program interferes with the BIOS update, it is highly recommended to close all other programs before continue. Two warning, both grammatically incorrect.  These are the types of flags in an e-mail that would indicate malware, phishing, etc.  Is this a valid program?  Is the grammar indicative of the quality of the update meaning it's unlikely my computer will work after the BIOS is flashed?  Little hesitant to continue the install.
