Seen a few false positives with AVG in my personal experience. Most AVs run into the odd one now and again. Some of them seem to have a fondness for Cygwin, probably because it's not part of any of their standard testing environments, so they wouldn't notice false positives in it before releasing a new .dat file. > I run scans frequently and have never had this show up before I want to > believe that this is a false positive, but want to be sure... Here's md5sums of my versions: 1.5: ~ $ cygcheck -c sed Cygwin Package Information Package Version Status sed 4.1.5-2 OK ~ $ md5sum /bin/sed.exe dd5f2d46b572b534d22f65a43916351c */bin/sed.exe 1.7: $ cygcheck -c sed Cygwin Package Information Package Version Status sed 4.1.5-2 OK $ md5sum /bin/sed.exe dd5f2d46b572b534d22f65a43916351c */bin/sed.exe If yours match (assuming same versions of course), you're clean. For a second opinion, try uploading your sed.exe at http://virusscan.jotti.org/ cheers, DaveK -- 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
