I downloaded setup.exe for the latest cygwin release from
sourceware.cygnus.com.  I run it and select a US mirror.  I tried both
ftp.freesoftware.com and sourceware.cygnus.com.

When it downloads the gcc tarball my VirusScanner detects a virus in
it.  I'm running McAffee 4.5.0 (virus definition 4.0.4080).  It
doesn't name the virus, and can't clean it.  To be safe I just quit
setup.

Has anyone else seen this?
