[Qgis-user] QGIS 3.18.0 ​Installer Detected as NirCmd Adware PUA by Antivirus

[Alyza Eileen Clare B. Villanueva]

Hello QGIS Team,

Good Day.

How are you doing today? I hope everything is good.

I am Alyza Villanueva an IT staff in one of the mining company here in the Philippines and we are on the process of testing the QGIS 3.18.0 application. This application might be useful in making analytical reports especially for Landslide Susceptibility Study however, we were skeptical on the downloaded installer from https://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/download.html since it was detected as NirCmd Adware PUA by our Antivirus (Sophos Endpoint Security) during the installation process. With this regard, we are humbly asking from your team if we can possibly remove the adware imbedded on the installer itself? Or is there a possibility that we can ask a copy of the installer to ensure that it does not come from unscrupulous source?


Looking forward for a positive response on this humble request.

Keep Safe!


Regards,
Alyza Villanueva
