I find it useful to get reports like this to the mailing list. Now Cygwin users know to avoid F-Secure. However, the only people who can help you are F-Secure. Report the problem to them so they can fix their broken anti-virus software. <mcnulty> I happen to be shopping around for anti-virus software myself, which is why I'm grateful for this report. I had always found my-etrust to be reliable and problem-free, but I'm tired of receiving HTML-only email from them, something they only started doing a few months ago. *sigh* </mcnulty> Cheers, David -- 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/
