Hello

I've searched around for more about this but only found a message on comp.security.ssh which said it might be a false alarm but was not conclusive.

Whilst doing a Full SystemScan, I got a message from Norton Antivirus 

"The file D:\cygwin\bin\cygz.dll is infected with
the Backdoor.EggHead virus. Unable to repair this file."

Is this a false alarm ? Does anyone know anything about this ?


Thanks

Chris
