No experience with Sophos, but certain heuristics in virus scanners apparently are only applied when the file in question has not yet been scanned. So it is sometimes helpful to run an explicit scan of the install dir. With other antivirus solutions only explicit whitelisting or exclusion of the installation directory actually helped. The exclusion usually only needs to target the "real-time" and heuristic engines of the antivirus package, which might make it more acceptable for corporate IT security. It is also helpful to ask them to escalate to the vendor support, since usually the vendors know about how their products interact with Cygwin and have a solution ready for when the customer asks.
