Windows Defender Firewall keeps track of all the applications trying to connect to the Internet and accepts incoming connections on your PC. When it detects an app trying to connect to the Internet for the first time, it will block access and show the above message.

If you trust the application, you can click Allow access. If not, click Cancel, and the application will stay on the blocked list until you allow it the next time.

From what I'm seeing the file extension looks very weird. It's trying to obfuscate an executable file as a png file. Make sure the Author field is actually from Dell
Code:
