Hi cygwin python maintainers and users,
AVG Free detects malware in the gui.exe and gui-32.exe files which
are part of the cygwin 64-bit versions of the python2 and python3
setuptools package.
These files are provided by the python-setuptools packages.
Reinstalling these packages will repair the problem.
When submitted to VirusTotal, only 3 out of 54 virus scanners
suspected a problem. Even the version of AVG run by VirusTotal thinks
the files are OK.
The detection of problems with these 4 files appears to be a false positive.
Attached is a manual transcript of the AVG virus report.
Attached is the current output from "cygcheck -svr" on my 64-bit only
cygwin install.
Your attention is appreciated,
Doug
Hi Doug
Can you open a false positive report to AVG ?
