Re: Norton 2005 blocks? Worm trojan horses in wget and rsync


Actually I did read the FAQ and was not concerned about the  norton
complaint about wget. However, the rsync complaint occurred when I was
syncing 2 local machines.
I will try the same rsync with a crossover cable (no internet) and see what
norton sez this weekend.

You probably should read the FAQ entry referenced below:

Is Cygwin Setup, or one of the packages, infected with a virus?
<http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_toc.html#TOC11>

What it says applies equally as well to anything you might download via wget
and rsync.
