Ah, good.
Note that cygwin setup.exe blocks McAfee Shield "AvSynMgr" also to be
able to download our packages after an UI dialog.
I don't know yet if just changing some settings might help.
Blocking is kinda unfriendly but the only solution.
That's the detection routine: (from our setup AntiVirus.cc)
SCM = OpenSCManager (NULL, NULL, SC_MANAGER_ALL_ACCESS);
McAfeeService = OpenService (SCM, "AvSynMgr",
SERVICE_QUERY_STATUS| SERVICE_STOP| SERVICE_START);
if (!McAfeeService) {
log (LOG_PLAIN, String("Could not open service McShield for query,
start and stop. McAfee may not be installed, or we don't have access.\n"));
CloseServiceHandle(SCM);
return;
}
SERVICE_STATUS status;
if (!QueryServiceStatus (McAfeeService, &status))
{
CloseServiceHandle(SCM);
CloseServiceHandle(McAfeeService);
log (LOG_PLAIN, String("Couldn't determine status of McAfee service.\n"));
return;
}
if (status.dwCurrentState == SERVICE_STOPPED ||
status.dwCurrentState == SERVICE_STOP_PENDING)
{
CloseServiceHandle(SCM);
CloseServiceHandle(McAfeeService);
log (LOG_PLAIN, "Mcafee is already stopped, nothing to see here\n");
}
... and so on
