File Permissions Issue

My virus scanner decided one of the programs I have installed was a 
virus and seems to have changed the file permissions for it.

How do I change these permissions back so I can freely execute my files? :)

Admittedly I haven't used cygwin in a while, but it WAS all working 
before... I've since added the file in the virus scanner exclude list.


thefinn@Laptop /usr/local/bin
$ chown thefinn.Users *
chown: changing ownership of `hydra.exe': Permission denied
chown: changing ownership of `pw-inspector.exe': Permission denied

thefinn@Laptop /usr/local/bin
$ ls -l
total 200
