Hi Frank, <br>I think would be better ask this kind of questions on the developer ML.<br>Cheers.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Jun 5, 2011 at 3:59 PM, Frank Sokolic <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sokolic@worldonline.co.za" target="_blank">sokolic@worldonline.co.za</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
When using the Windows installer for QGIS 1.6 the shortcuts that are generated use nircmd.exe to execute a batch file called qgis.bat, which in turn loads and runs QGIS. However, I've noticed that some Windows anti-virus programs flag nircmd.exe as a virus and prevent the QGIS shortcuts from working. This can cause alarm amongst new users of QGIS and I've had people tell me they "don't trust Quantum GIS because it is a virus".<br>
<br>
What is the reason for using nircmd? Would it not be better to run the batch file directly instead of running it via nircmd?<br>
<br>
