Bugsnag_breadcrumbs.json

[skays]

At the suggestion of several people on this forum, I have been running the freeware version of Intego VirusBarrier Scan. It runs automatically each day and during the end of one scan the message screen popped up showing the scan was stopped with reference to "Bugsnag_breadcrumbs.json" file. No mention that it was malware or virus, just that the scan would not continue. There was an option button to "Restart" which I pressed and there was a quick rescan started with the results being "No malware found". Does anyone know what that .json file is? I looked it up on the internet and it references a log file under Javascript. Should I be concerned? Thank you in advance.

bugsnag_breadcrumbs -- What is it? Is it safe?

I found a file called bugsnag_breadcrumbs.json in my user>library>Caches. It seems to be constantly updating. It's collecting data and seems to be connected to error reports from what I could see. But there is very, very little info on this, so I thought I'd ask and see if anybody else has this...
