My virus scanner decided one of the programs I have installed was a 
virus and seems to have changed the file permissions for it.

How do I change these permissions back so I can freely execute my files? :)

Admittedly I haven't used cygwin in a while, but it WAS all working 
before... I've since added the file in the virus scanner exclude list.
