I see that this program was created on March 2nd 2023. It says copyright 2017 The Qt Company Ltd..
But I never installed this program on my computer before... I am worried if it is a malicious software.
Thank you for your help in advance.
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.3
It is a part of Cisco packet tracer.

I was little concerned because I saw an article in QT Forum about Linguist trojan horse.. I think it is still a bit weird that Linguist program is installed without my consent...
Nothing gets installed without your consent.
You may not be aware that you allowed it to be installed, but you gave your consent.
Your "Trojan" detection was in Linguist.exe--that's a Windows executable. There is no way it would do anything on your Mac.
You need to figure out what you recently installed that would have also installed Linguist.
Thank you for your response.
I installed the Malwarebytes and got no threats thankfully.

If you don't use it nor know how you got it, just remove it. Also for peace of mind, install MalwareBytes and scan your system.
I see Linguist app. I didn't install it. What is it?
