[Qgis-user] FW: QGIS Dufour possible virus

[Chris Noble]

Problem solved - no virus
By coincidence there has been an update of Avast Pro to V9.0. I uninstalled
QGIS V2.01, updated Avast and then reinstalled QGIS V2.01 without any
problem. Thanks to everyone who helped.

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
