(I am VERY tired right now so any I typed here might have typos.)
Today I ran a scan with Kaspersky Internet Security 2009, and it 
reported that a couple of files in the install\cygwin directories were 
infected by Net_Worm.win32.sassor.be.

My system is WindowsXP Media edition

These were:

  
C:\install\cygwin\package\http%3a%2f%2fmirrors.kernel.org%2fsourceware%2fcygwin\release\coreutils\coreutils-6.7-1.tar.bz2 
C:\install\cygwin\package\http%3a%2f%2fmirrors.kernel.org%2fsourceware%2fcygwin\release\coreutils\coreutils-6.7-2.tar.bz2
 

and more specifically:

  coreutils-6.7-2//user/bin/gkill.exe

I know these are old releases so I am assuming everything is OK.  I 
deleted these to tar files and I assume that won't hurt my 
installation.  right?
