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

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi,

I cannot find your issue.  The link does not work. Normally these are 
false positive and normally they happen when virus database are 
updated.  Send an email to the developer list if you have questions.  I 
have been using Qgis since version 0.8.  I have never seen a virus.  I 
am not on the developers list.
