Brad,
a workaround:
Configure your antivirus program to "exclude" scanning the Cygwin directory.
This is a very common question.. might be in FAQ?, I'm not sure.
Outdated AV software will accuse Cygwin of being a virus... I'm not so sure I would want (or trust) antivirus software that *bluescreens*... especially on a production box if that is the case.
Cheers,
Scott
