I have only a NirCmd.chm and no NirCmd.exe in my qgis directory.

  Hi everybody,

 

  My antivirus has flagged the QGIS file "nircmd.exe" and "nircmdc.exe" as viruses and have deleted them. Should I be worried about this? Are they necessary for QGIS? Apparently my QGIS is still working properly.

 

  I have found a similar question to this one here:

http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Re-Qgis-user-nircmd-flagged-as-a-virus-td4102707.html 

 

   But I'm not sure if I have to worry about or no. What are these files supposed to do?

 

  Thanks in advance

 

  Rafa
