On my work computer today, I ran cygwin's setup-x86_64.exe in order to get the latest and greatest code.Soon afterwards, Norton Business Suite autoran, and claimed that the new mintty is malware (to be precise: WS.Malware.2). This has never happened before: both Norton and cygwin (including mintty) have been on my computer for a long time. I assume that mintty has not gotten infected with malware, and that this is probably a Norton bug, like what has been seen in the past: https://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#faq.using.bloda https://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2013-11/msg00205.html That said, I thought that I would report it anyways. Details: --Win 7 64 bit pro host --Norton Business Suite version 21.7.0.11 --latest cygwin and mintty (version 2.0.3-0) --I have screenshots if anyone wants more details, but I cannot send them as attachments to this mailing list, right?
Hi Brenat, please open a false positive report with Norton Likely they will recognize the mistake and amend their database Regards Marco -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
