Local address: All local network adapters(2801). Process name is "C:\cygwin\bin\rsync.exe". And the net says wget and rsync do have this problem (try google rsync Trojan) EG http://linuxreviews.org/gentoo/gentoo_trojan_howto/. I downloaded and compiled wget and rsync from net and replaced cygwin versions - so far Norton has said northing Norton doesn't complain very often so this may not be a fix Anyone know if Norton and I are unduly paranoid or if this is a real threat?
