    When I was updating Qt using Maintenance Tool, the program was suddenly shut down by Kaspersky.

    According to the log, Qt MT has released a vbs file to the local temp folder and is attempting to execute it.

      That's a false positive - or rather, nothing to be worried about. The maintenance tool uses vbs files to uninstall/update itself (something that is difficult to do otherwise on Windows).
