Hi all,
This topic comes up every couple months, dating back almost a decade or
two. If you google for "QGIS nircmd virus" you will find plenty of
discussions around this topic, like this discussion thread from 2011:
Good evening,
was also worried this afternoon by the same alerts on two different machines
of my employer. Both with TREND supervision. The alerts had something to do
with contents in OSGeo4W and QGIS folders. Couldn't reach the IT colleques
so will possibly have discussions tomorrow.
Regards,
Hi,

As you can see, it could be very useful to use if one wanted to hack a
computer. My guess is that it gets flagged because the company also
does Windows Password Recovery tools...

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
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!
