On my work computer today, I ran cygwin's setup-x86_64.exe in order to get the
latest and greatest code.
Soon afterwards, Norton Business Suite autoran, and claimed that the new mintty
is malware (to be precise: WS.Malware.2).
This has never happened before: both Norton and cygwin (including mintty) have
been on my computer for a long time.
I assume that mintty has not gotten infected with malware, and that this is
probably a Norton bug, like what has been seen in the past:

https://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2013-11/msg00205.html
That said, I thought that I would report it anyways.
Details:
--Win 7 64 bit pro host
--Norton Business Suite version 21.7.0.11
--latest cygwin and mintty (version 2.0.3-0)
--I have screenshots if anyone wants more details, but I cannot send them as
attachments to this mailing list, right?
