Hello, when connecting to a Vagrant Shared VM via SSH, I'm getting a Windows Firewall prompt about 'proxy_windows_386.exe' (in C:\Program Files\hashicorp\vagrant\embedded\gems\gems\vagrant-share-1.1.0\localbin\), which looks like a malware-type name.  Here's the message: "Windows Security Alert.  Windows Firewall has blocked some features of this app.  Windows Firewall has blocked some features of proxy_windows_386.exe on all public and private networks.".

So I did a quick search for this file name on the Internet as well as the Git-SCM.com/community site and haven't found any clear explinations about what this file is and if it's safe.  If this is a legitimate safe file, I think it's important that this is clearly documented in the Git documentation.  Can someone verify the details about this file?

Thanks,
BRIAN

I fail to get how did you manage to connect "proxy_windows_386.exe"
with Git.  Care to elaborate on this?

Lol, sorry.  I meant to post in the Vagrant forums.  Too many projects going on at the same time!
