It's not part of Cygwin. Looking at http://www.prevx.com/filenames/3781527093791054792-0/SDDT.EXE.html it seems to be a known trojan virus. If you are sure it came with setup.exe you should send it (setup.exe) for scanning to, for instance, http://www.virustotal.com/ or http://www.virscan.org/ Sorry for the bad news. -- René Berber -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
