I am an experienced programmer, but new to rust. I have used rustup to install the latest version of the toolchain to my windows 11 laptop. I'm checking versions and get the following

C:\Users\scott>rustc --version
rustc 1.88.0 (6b00bc388 2025-06-23)

C:\Users\scott>cargo --version
error: command failed: 'cargo': Access is denied. (os error 5)

I also get a message from Norton that cargo.exe contains FileRepMalware. I have reported it as a false positive to Norton.

I assume everyone is sure that there is no malware in cargo? Any other thoughts?
