Hi cygwin python maintainers and users, AVG Free detects malware in the gui.exe and gui-32.exe files which are part of the cygwin 64-bit versions of the python2 and python3 setuptools package. These files are provided by the python-setuptools packages. Reinstalling these packages will repair the problem. When submitted to VirusTotal, only 3 out of 54 virus scanners suspected a problem. Even the version of AVG run by VirusTotal thinks the files are OK. The detection of problems with these 4 files appears to be a false positive. Attached is a manual transcript of the AVG virus report. Attached is the current output from "cygcheck -svr" on my 64-bit only cygwin install. Your attention is appreciated, Doug -- Doug Henderson, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
