So the Anti-Virus program on my computer found that I had some time of virus or malware on my computer. I found the file, but every time I try to delete it, it makes you enter in a password. Once I enter the correct password it tells me, "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items". I don't understand why I can not delete it.The file is called Basesystem.dmg.

I hope this helps.If you might have installed adware or other unwanted software on your Mac
If you see pop-ups on your Mac that just won’t go away, you might have inadvertently downloaded and installed adware (advertising-supported software) or other unwanted software. Certain third-party download sites might include programs that you don’t want with the software that you install.
If you think that you might have malware or adware on your Mac, update to the latest version of macOS. If your Mac is already running the latest version, restart it. macOS includes a built-in tool that removes known malware when you restart your Mac.
Check your Applications folder to see if you have any apps that you didn’t expect and uninstall them. If you continue to see advertising or other unwanted programs on your Mac, contact Apple.

I think you need to reevaluate your anti-malware - the BaseSystem.dmg is a part of the OS installer (inside the application bundle).
Uninstall the antivirus app.
This helped a lot. I restarted my Mac and the program could not find the virus. Thanks for your help!
