Subject: Norton Business Suite identifies minntty as malware
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

On my work computer today, I ran cygwin's setup-x86_64.exe in order to get the latest and greatest code.

Soon afterwards, Norton Business Suite autoran, and claimed that the new mintty is malware (to be precise: WS.Malware.2).

This has never happened before: both Norton and cygwin (including mintty) have been on my computer for a long time.

I assume that mintty has not gotten infected with malware, and that this is probably a Norton bug, like what has been seen in the past:
    https://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#faq.using.bloda

    https://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2013-11/msg00205.html


That said, I thought that I would report it anyways.

Details:
--Win 7 64 bit pro host
--Norton Business Suite version 21.7.0.11
--latest cygwin and mintty (version 2.0.3-0)
--I have screenshots if anyone wants more details, but I cannot send them as attachments to this mailing list, right?
