Thanks for your response.  In summary, the likelihood of malware targeting
cygwin explicitly is low, but there are occassional precedents for
continuing to scan the sizable cygwin directory tree.  I guess I'll be
disciplined and do a 3-day rotational schedule, launching each of the 3
malware scanners at the end of the day.  Thanks, all.
