I can't think of anything that has changed between R 3.5.1 and 3.5.2.
What does "Behavior Monitoring policy violation" mean? Does it say
what sort of policy?

A quick search reveals that the TrendMicro "Unauthorized File
Encryption" message is a frequent false positive for many different
software programs, including this thread at the rstudio forum:

Perhaps it's just because you're one of the first people to install
this version, and your AV might use some "smart" learning system such
that the false positive will automatically disappear after a few more
people have installed and whitelisted the new R binaries.
