Pingman Tools Home Forums PingPlotter PingPlotter Support Malwarebytes Reports a Trojan

A scan by Malwarebytes reported finding the following:
Trojan.Crypt in Pingplotter 5\NEWTONSOFT.JSON.DLL.

This is the first "problem" detected in years and the same scan is run daily. It could be a false reading.
