Hi,
The Norton AntiVirus controls offer you a direct and "sanctioned" way to
disable or suspend virus checking without resort to subterfuge such as
invoking the debugger (assuming you have it installed, that is--is that
option even available if you don't have a debugger installed on your
system? I don't think so, but I'm not going to uninstall Visual C++ just to
find out...).
Personally, I don't enable my Norton Anti-Virus for continual monitoring. I
only use it on demand, either to make a full sweep (on rare occasions) or
when I receive a file that I find suspicious. I've never had an active
infection and only rarely have I ever discovered a virus in the first
place. Discounting the obvious ones, I could (if my memory were perfect)
almost certainly count on one hand the number of times I found a virus when
I wasn't already expecting one.

Dan,
Are you using win2K? if so start the task manager and switch to
processes:
If you are using Norton Antivirus you will find a process NOPDB.EXE which
has something to with Norton. Check the process time of all the running
processes and you may find the culprit. In my case it has always been the
NOPDB. Which, by the way you CANNOT kill directly. :( Right click the
process and say debug. You can then stop the process and low and behold
cygwin will start moving again. This seems to appear more on the
non-Intel processors, I have no idea why.
