I've downloaded cygwin from the nasa.gov site too, and have McAfee Netshield 4.5, scan engine 4.1.40, and Virus definitions 4.0.4145.  Manually running Viruscan did not show any problems at all.  However, the background scan however keeps timing out - says the scan was aborted because it took too long to complete.  It's probably a glitch with McAfee.
