I have some reasons to suspect that http://cygwin.com/setup.exe is 
infected with a virus that Norton and McAfree don't scan. well, 
sometimes they say it's Cles or Wez or somthing.

Or it could be that it's a coincidence that as soon as I asked other 
developers to install cywin they all got it as well, and it may also be 
just a coincidence that after installing a fresh copy of everything and 
rebooted and all was *almost* fine (because some commands -like ls.exe- 
didn't install), but my machine instantly rebooted when I tried to run 
the cygwin setup the second time.

I really am not sure but I encourage everyone to make sure that I'm wrong.

This is the md5 of the setup.exe I downloaded.

616c0f35c0abf14d00a82a7bea1f1b2c  setup.exe

I really hope this is a false alarm but it's too coincidental to not 
bring to some-one's attention.
