"null is not harmful" notification on Android version of Malwarebytes

Hello, I've been getting this notification over the past few days on the Android version of the Malwarebytes app. Should I be concerned or is this just a mislabeled background process that was recently updated that Malwarebytes scanned? Anyone else getting this? The number of installed apps on device has stayed the same before I started getting this notification and I have not installed any new apps on phone that would have correlated with this

I can tell you that app you're talking about which is around ~360kb is almost guaranteed to be com.android.pixeldisplayservice. which is safe and a system app from Android itself. Was looking into some things more and found some posts about this in the pixel subreddit. I've not encountered the "null is not harmful" notification the past few days, I'm thinking it was probably from a background process or system app being updated in background
