McAfee VScan v4.5.0
settings -
scan program files only
scan inbound outbound files
Problem.
This may not be considered a bug rather a notice to users. While McAfee is
running, if ls.exe is executed with a sort option (eg. -t -s) Mcshield.exe
sucks up about 98% of the CPU time causing ls.exe to perform very poorly. I
believe Mcafee sees every single search access and scans the file. In a
directory like /bin with many .exe files this is a problem. This probably
happens with other virus software.
Solution.
Disable Mcafee while using Cygwin.
