I think these are false positives. We have a rigorous policy concerning the security of our systems. No files can easily get onto our system. No other files on my system are infected according to eTrust Antivirus. Would be odd if only Cygwin files are infected. I have reported this to CA (8 hours ago), but they have not responded yet. Don't have md5sums (and can't create them anymore ;-).
