[Qgis-user] QGIS has the virus Hacktool.Win64.NirCMD.SM?

[Bob and Deb]

Hi Nicolas,

I just noticed https://github.com/qgis/issues/32247 that was just posted
today.  It seems that Trend just updated their virus database, so there
could be troubles ahead for QGIS users.

I was afraid our IT department would blacklist QGIS.  This ticket was
greatly needed!
