@subsection The README says I should turn off anti-virus software. Isn't that dangerous?
Only Network Associates (formerly McAfee) products have been reported to

+"hang" when extracting Cygwin tar archives. Other products have been
+reported to detect false positives in Cygwin files. Depending on how
+your anti-virus software is configured, it may then delete the file(s)

Otherwise, you can download @code{setup.exe} and scan it. Then turn off
the anti-virus software, then run setup to download and extract all the
tar files. Then re-activate your anti-virus software and scan
everything in C:\cygwin (or wherever you chose to install). This should
-be safe. (As long as nobody substitutes a malicious setup.exe ...)
