Plex Media Server NAS & Devices

Server Version#: 1.18.3.2129

Window 10

Bitdefender Antivirus Plus

After I downloaded the Dec 5, 2019 PMS version 1.18.3.2129, I shut down the PMS server and installed the new version.

During the installation my security software, Bitdefender, flagged the following files as “Infected with ransomware”. The software was able to disinfect the files.

\AppData\Local\Plex Media Server\Cache\CloudAccessV2.dat
\CloudAccountV2.dat
\Flags.dat
\UpdateChannels.dat

             \Plug-in Support\Databases\com.plexapp.plugins.library.blobs.db
                                                                 \tv.plex.providers.epg.cloud-419822fe-8be4-4a4c-9b40-35c575cad5e1-loading.db
