BIOS 1.21.1 update fail

I am getting a popup from Bitdefender when this tries to install.Unfortunately a second message replaces the first before I can copy it, and do not find it in Bidtdefender notifications. It looks like it is naming a specific file as "potentially unwanted application". The filename is appears to be mostly random letters and numbers, but again it disappears to quickly to catch.

Command update history shows this: Dell Precision 3450 System BIOS - 1.21.1 - 48.76 MB - Critical - Unable to install

System and applications are otherwise current.

    I received a new prompt from Command Update tonight, and the install completed normally with 1.21.1.

    Mahalo for reading and responding!

    After multiple install attempts I was able to copy the filename Bitdefender identified- DBUtilDrv.32.sys

    When you are at the BIOS firmware download page, scroll down and expand the installation instruction.  Review the process for F12, flashing the BIOS outside operating system using a USB drive.

    I have almost the same problem in downloading and installing a BIOS update. I receive a message from Bitdefender specifying that DBUtilDrv2.Sys has been identified as an unwanted application.  System and everything else is current.
