Thanks,
All file look good, I submitted to a couple of online file scanner
sites and they confirmed no problem. This appears to be a false
positive with CA Antivirus...
BTW: After posting this message to the board I found 6 additional exe
files that also caused false positives. I posted these new files in a
message to the board also, however they all checked out good also..

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,
