Since I really did want to do a full anti-virus scan on my laptop, I used WinZip to backup the C:\cygwin directory to a zip file on a networked drive, deleted the C:\cygwin directory and ran the full scan successfully.
I then restored the C:\cygwin directory with WinZip and ran the full scan again with no errors! So that says to me it wasn't the files in the C:\cygwin directory that caused the problem, but the structure of the C:\cygwin directory. What part of the directory structure have I "undone" with a WinZip backup and restore? For what I use, Cygwin appears to be working correctly so far. Is there a better tool to use if I need to do this again in the future? Regards, Brad P.S. The anti-virus program was choosen by the company, I'm just trying to be a good corporate citizen here. This all started when the laptop (which didn't have F-Secure installed) was "alive in the wild" while I was in Japan, I thought a good inspection was in order when I returned. -- 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/
