Just performed a routine update to cygwin, which resulted in the updated
XWin.exe being quarantined due to a virus threat.
Details:
setup.exe version: 2.769
source: http://cygwin.xl-mirror.nl
xorg-servers-common version: 1.12.0-4
Symantec Endpoint Protection reported XWin.exe contained "Bloodhound.Sonar.9"
file size: 2828127
hash: 157814B5160244D44E469CA9829124DABA14426F3D60E6A22B52E953625CA0B2
category: application heuristic
scan type: SONAR
SONAR Risk level: High
SONAR: High
Reverting back to 1.12.0-3 from same source does *not* show this issue.
Could be a false positive? But AV policy prevents me from running it.
Regards,
Simon.
