What AV is this? Assuming you downloaded Julia from the official source ([Download Julia](https://julialang.org/downloads)), then this is a false positive.

I downloaded juliapro from [https://juliacomputing.com/](https://juliacomputing.com/)  
That was found by Zemana antimalware when I used Pkg.add(“Plots”)

Oh, right it’s JuliaPro, that’s fine. Your AV is likely at fault, and you should report this to them as a false positive. Or if you’re part of an organization, your security team should be informed that your AV is flagging these libraries incorrectly.
