Plex Encoder Determined To Be Ransomware

Plex Media Server

Server Version#: 1.32.6.7371
Player Version#: 4.113.2
Anyone have any idea why the Plex Encoder would look like, when trying to play a movie file, Ransomware? I can’t play the movie because my virus scanner gives the attached notice every time I try to watch the movie. Apparently the program file it’s tagging is EasyAudioEncoder.exe, which I assume is being pulled up by Plex?
