Re: trojans in cygwin

Monika Pietrzyk <mpiet@if.pw.edu.pl> was heard to say:

C:\Documents and Settings\toshiba\Desktop\CYGWIN 1.7.5-1\ftp%3a%2f%2fftp.uni-
kl.de%2fpub%2fwindows%2fcygwin%2f\release\csih\csih-0.9.1-1.tar.bz2/usr\share
\doc\Cygwin\csih.README     detected: Trojan.ATRAPS!IK

I'm by no means a trojan or virus guru, but if your anti-malware software detects trojans in plain-text README files, I'd be concerned about that software, not about cygwin. Maybe you should consult a second opinion (i.e. a different type of malware detection software) before drawing any conclusions.

regards,
Markus
