Hi Igor

sorry about that last message text seems to had a few problems

OK - I have tried to download the setup.exe program from cygwin site

as soon as I try, I get rrouted to badspammer.html - why? my PC appears to 
think this is a spambot

I am using windows XP with SP2 installed

I am also using Norton Internet Security

I have broadband connected to wireless network

I have tried IE 5.0, Firefox, and Netscape all do the same

Any ideas?

Dave
