Hi Marco,

     Yes. The file exists, but it is in the sub-directory
Avast5 of the AlwilSoftware directory.  Apparently their
installer does not make everything perfect when it upgrades
from a previous version.

      Should I then rip out both cygwin and the antivirus,
then run a re-install of antivirus first, then the cygwin?
Forgive me, install and re-install pretty much summarizes
my suite of computing skills.  When all that I have is a
hammer, everything looks to me like a "hammer" kind of
job.
