I find that AVG 8.0 (Windows anti-virus product) frequently flags
Cygwin files as being infected.
Argh. Still, all AVs get false positives now and again, and Grisoft are
very responsive about fixing them if you report it.
Last night, AVG quarantined these files:
ncurses-5.5.3.tar.bz2 (Trojan horse Downloader.Generic7.ABKD)
zip-2.32-2.tar.bz2(Trojan horse Downloader.Generic7.ABHQ)
toe.exe (Trojan horse Downloader.Generic7.ABKD)
zip.exe (Trojan horse Downloader.Generic7.ABHQ)
You can also configure AVG to exclude your cygwin install tree from being
scanned.
cheers,
