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
