TJM Registered: 04/20/20 Posts: 59	Hey Gadecker, Thanks for reaching out! After investigation, it appears that this was a false positive inside Malwarebytes that occurred for multiple applications aside from PingPlotter in the last 24 hours. Malwarebytes reports that this false positive has been fixed in the latest version. You can see more reports for this specific false positive (NEWTONSOFT.JSON.DLL) with replies from the Malwarebytes team confirming this using the following links: https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/283675-newtonsoftjsondll-caught-this-morning-on-two-computers/ https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/283680-payloadvsix-and-newtonsoftjsondll-trojancrypt-detected/ https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/283656-possible-fp-newtonsoftjsondll/ If you have any other questions or concerns regarding this please let us know! Thanks, -TJ
