[Qgis-user] QGIS Dufour possible virus

[Alex Mandel]

We have had this issue of false positives in the past. If you want to be
safe I suggest reporting the possible false positive to Avast. You have
a paid version they should provide support for you. Maybe once they
verify it's safe it will get added to their data and no other user will
have the issue either.

Thanks,
Alex
