trojans in cygwin

[Markus Hoenicka]

Monika Pietrzyk <mpiet@if.pw.edu.pl> was heard to say:

> C:\Documents and Settings\toshiba\Desktop\CYGWIN 1.7.5-1\ftp%3a%2f%2fftp.uni-
> kl.de%2fpub%2fwindows%2fcygwin%2f\release\csih\csih-0.9.1-1.tar.bz2/usr\share
> \doc\Cygwin\csih.README     detected: Trojan.ATRAPS!IK

I'm by no means a trojan or virus guru, but if your anti-malware  
software detects trojans in plain-text README files, I'd be concerned  
about that software, not about cygwin. Maybe you should consult a  
second opinion (i.e. a different type of malware detection software)  
before drawing any conclusions.

regards,
Markus
