[Qgis-user] qgis possible malware false positive

[James Keener]

Just to be sure: You did get your binary from
https://qgis.org/en/site/forusers/download.html ?

My first instinct would be to have IT tell you exactly which malware was
found.  If they believe QGIS _itself_ is maleware, then you need to do
different things than if they simply believe it's infected with maleware.
