Greetings, Watts, Simon (UK)!
> Just performed a routine update to cygwin, which resulted in the updated XWin.exe being quarantined due to a virus threat.
> Details:
> setup.exe version: 2.769
> source: http://cygwin.xl-mirror.nl
> xorg-servers-common version: 1.12.0-4
> Symantec Endpoint Protection reported XWin.exe contained "Bloodhound.Sonar.9"
> file size: 2828127
> hash: 157814B5160244D44E469CA9829124DABA14426F3D60E6A22B52E953625CA0B2
> category: application heuristic
> scan type: SONAR
> SONAR Risk level: High
> SONAR: High
> Reverting back to 1.12.0-3 from same source does *not* show this issue.
> Could be a false positive? But AV policy prevents me from running it.
>From the report, it seems like it's AV heuristic backfired.
