Has anyone else run into a false positive threat after updating their mac to Sequoia 15.6?

ShanleyJS

After updating my new Macbook Air M4 to Sequoia 15.6 I received a notification from Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac that a threat had been found and needed manual removal. I have attached a picture of the notification below. Upon seeing this I made sure the threat information database on both Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac and my Bitdefender Virus Scanner Plus apps were up to date and ran a deep system scan on both apps. Both of these scans came back completely clear and my Bitdefender Antivirus interface stated that my Mac was safe despite this notification. I believe this was a false positive, but was wondering if anyone else had received a notification like this following a MacOS update?
