Virus Warning (RE: Cygwin Connection Tool for Windows -- new release)

[Stephen Liu]

Hi Mario,

The setup file concerned has been removed by Norton Antivirus 2002 
(updated).  I can't check again.  Now my P box resumes normal.     Also it 
worked perfect before downloading the setup file.  It is protected by 
Norton Antivirus 2002.

B.Regards
Stephen
