heres the problem...
Yesterday I downloaded/installed the latest virus definitions for AVG.
Suddenly it said a CYGWIN executable - df.exe - has a virus and disabled access to it.
FYI - it runs just fine on other puters
and was running just fine on so called bad puter.
So I disabled AVG, but now W2K wont allow me access to the file.
Can someone give me advice as to how to fix W2K?
Yes - I have contacted AVG but no response from them yet.

Can you restore the file from the AVG virus vault? If you can, does it
still show up as a virus if you turn off heuristic scanning?

RE: Re: AVG killed a file - now W2K says no access

with AVG shut down..
when I try to execute it I get permission denied
I did a restore from virus vault and still get permission denied
I also tried renaming it and still get permission denied when tried to read it
can move it and rename but no read and hence no execute
