UEFI detections cannot be cleaned. You have the following options:

1, Upgrade the UEFI firmware to a version that doesn't contain the Computrace application, if available.
2, Exclude Computrace from detection by the detection name.
3, Disable detection of potentially unsafe applications (not recommended).

@MarcosThanks for the advice. I went to HP.com and there was an update for my BIOS. Initially I was getting this message   "Volume 1\ComputraceComponents - a variant of EFI/CompuTrace.A potentially unsafe application - action selection postponed until scan completion".  After updated the BIOS I am now getting this message when I do a memory and Boot sector/UEFI scan "ComputraceComponents - a variant of EFI/CompuTrace.A potentially unsafe application - action selection postponed until scan completion". If it's nothing to worry about I won't sweat it but at least now my BIOS us up to date. ☺️

Check your BIOS for a setting in regards to theft protection options and the like. See this for a reference: https://forum.eset.com/topic/16830-detection-of-computrace-variants-in-uefi-and-pre-loaded-software/?do=findComment&comment=84392 .

If your HP BIOS does not have any settings in regards to disabling theft protection or CompuTrace, your only other option is to specifically ask HP for a BIOS that has this feature disabled or not installed. I wish you luck on this since my past experience with HP on requests like this went nowhere. Their offshore tech support is only trained to handle specific and common requests.
