<p>Hi Patrick,</p>
<p>Thanks for forwarding this issue to Symantec.</p>
<p>The 64bit version is the recommended one anyway. Any reason to still wanting to use the 32bit version?</p>
<p>In this respect, Symantec is doing something good, if they urge you to move to the 64bit version ;-)</p>

<div class="pre" style="margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: monospace"><br /><br /> I have sent them a report already mentioning that it should be a false positive, but I do not know how (if) they follow up. Now the only foreseen solution is to use the 64 bits version that is not detected as viral.<br /><br /><span style="white-space: nowrap;">Best,</span><br /><br /> Patrick<br /> _______________________________________________<br /><span style="white-space: nowrap;">Qgis-user mailing list</span><br /><span style="white-space: nowrap;"><a href="mailto:Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org">Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org</a></span><br /><span style="white-space: nowrap;">List info: <a href="http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user">http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user</a></span><br /><span style="white-space: nowrap;">Unsubscribe: <a href="http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user">http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user</a></span></div>
