Had these problems with Norton AV and NT 4. I exclude the Cygwin root now to
have no problems.

Betreff: Cygwin .tar.gz files and anti-virus software

Greetings Cygwin devotees,

It is known that Network Associates (formerly McAfee) anti-virus
software can "hang" or otherwise behave poorly when dealing with
Cygwin .tar.gz files.

Has anyone experienced this problem with other anti-virus software?

(You needn't tell me that you use such-an-such and don't have a
problem.  Or to confirm that you've had problems with McAfee.  Just
report problems with other anti-virus scanners.)

Thanks very much.

Regards,
David
