Ever since I made the mistake of updating XProtect to the latest release I've been getting crash reports indicating that XProtectRemediatorDubRobber quit unexpectedly because "Plugin attempted to connect to process impersonating PluginService". These pop up about four or five times a day. Ran Malwarebytes just to see if it's something to worry about but it reports no problems. Google search has been singularly unhelpful.
