Hi,
Hi John,
I have never previously experienced Symantec anti-virus causing a problem
of any kind with Cygwin; it has always correctly identified the source of
the installer. I am using the latest version (as of this morning) of Nortons
and it's definitions.
I personally opened 2 claims for false detection on cygwin programs, and
I am aware of
other two.
The heuristic approach seems a bit crap to me
I noted that the size of the downloaded file at both 769kB (this at 2014-12-22 12:04 UTC)
and 734kB (this at 2014-12-22 09:08 UTC) is considerably smaller than a download of the
same version (v1.7.33) performed on 2014-11-18 (at 879kB approx). Is there something
being missed from the build that be the cause of the problem?
unlikely
