Our local virus scan tool provided by ***** 
reported a "trojan horse" called "BKDR_HACDEF.M" found in c:\cygwin\bin\cygcrypt-0.dll

c.f.: 

http://www.******.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default5.asp?VName=BKDR_HACDEF.M

Could you tell me what is your point of view about this ? is it a fluke information ?
does the code for cygcrypt-0.dll need to be checked against Easter-Eggs of this kind ?
