Be careful downloading the distributions. I've found the backdoor.egghead virus (a def for it was just put up by Symantec) in cygwin1.dll and cygz.dll. Unfortunately, I didn't keep track of which mirror I got it from. The definition and removal instructions are here: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/backdoor.egghead.html
Now that they've updated their defs, your default download scan should pick it up. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
