OfficeScan deletes Rterm as malware
Dear Roland, quite surprising, as online scans of TrendMicro turn up completely clean. It looks like a false positive, which you can report to TrendMicro as explained here : https://success.trendmicro.com/solution/1115668-preventing-behavior-monitoring-false-detections-in-officescan#collapse1 On the same website they explain how you can whitelist it. I'll check at home with a few other antiviruses, but I'm pretty certain this is a case of TrendMicro being overly enthousiast in its protection. Cheers Joris

I'm not sure if the problem is actually with R but thought I should report this anyway. After Peter's email regarding the R 3.5.2 release today, I installed the Windows version right away (directly from CRAN and not from a mirror). Unfortunately, my institute's AV sofware TrendMicro OfficeScan 12.0.5147 Service Pack 1 stops and deletes Rterm.exe when running Rcmd.exe INSTALL with a local source package. It reports "OfficeScan detected a Behavior Monitoring policy violation and blocked the offending process(es)." and "Unauthorized File Encryption" by Rterm.exe. I've deinstalled R 3.5.2 for now and switched back to 3.5.1, which works fine. Best, Roland Fu?
