Hi Everyone,
The new virus definition file from Norton/Symantec
fingers the cygz.dll as containing the
Backdoor.EggHead virus.
This is has been confirmed for dll major: 1003 dll
minor: 2, dll minor 4.
Reading the virus description at
http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/backdoor.egghead.html
It seems highly unlikely that this is really an
infection.
Just thought I'd give a heads up to the developers
since everybody using NAV is going to see their cygwin
installations break over the next few days since NAV
"quarantines" (moves) suspected files.
One cygwin application that uses cygz.dll is scp, not
sure what others do.
