I had also installed "emisoft anti-malware" as an additional precautionary measure to scan my environment. This product was for some reason blocking the cygwin binaries from running and causing the "Bad address" response every time. I tried excluding the cygwin dir from being blocked within emsisoft but couldnt get it to work. When I fully removed the emsisoft product, cygwin was again fully functional. Much appreciate the assistance. Regards Rep >" >That looks certainly like a local problem, maybe a BLODA: >http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#faq.using.bloda.
