IDP.Generic virus reported in okular.exe, attention: Yaakov Selkowitz

[Alan Thwaits]

Dear Yaakov or other interested maintainer:

When I ran the program okular.exe under bash and xterm, my antivirus
program AVG Antivirus Free quarantined the program and reported that it
contains the virus IDP.Generic.

I hope that you find this helpful.

Best regards,

Alan

Why do you report it here?
Report to AVG support.
If they confirm that it is indeed a virus, and not a failed heuristic, then
you can raise an issue here.

Dear Cygwin community,

I have looked and looked. I cannot find an appropriate place to report
viruses. I know of two viruses, and I would like to report them.

Sincerely,

Alan
