Image Resizer

Steps to reproduce

I wanted to resize a lot of images, around 1000. I tried several settings to get the best balance between size and file size for each image. I edited one of the presets and selected 1920x1080 at 60% quality. I selected all the images and, using the context menu in the file explorer, chose Image Resizer according to the edited preset. It started very quickly, but after a while, it began to freeze. Then, Avira Free antivirus started showing that many of those photos were being quarantined because they were infected with the threat "EXP/MS04-028.JPEG.A". I checked the original files with the antivirus, and they are clean.

✔️ Expected Behavior

Reduce image size and weight in batches

❌ Actual Behavior

The shrunken images contain viruses.
