I installed the cygwin package and the Xwindows server too. However, today, I found somebody controlling my pc remotely. I know because the mouse behaved erratically and then the XLanuch configuration screen came up. I tried to kill it using the Task Manager but it would restart. I had to reboot and turn off networking and then delete the cygwin folder. McAfee did not report this as a Trojan. I have written a mail to McAfee notifying them of this issue. I dont know if you are aware of this issue or not, but I found it serious enough to report. to summarize XLaunch allows remote control of a pc without the users knowledge or permission.
