I tried downloading R-2.7.2 (http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/bin/windows/base/R-2.7.2-win32.exe, both from Berkeley and cran) and both times I got a warning from Computer Associates eTrust Antivirus (version 7.1.710) that the Win32/Adclicker.JO trojan was detected: The Win32/Adclicker.JO was detected in C:\USERS\USER\APPDATA\LOCAL\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES\LOW\CONTENT.IE5\61HAYRTG\R-2.7.2-WIN32[1].EXE. Has anyone else seen this?
It's not R, it's CA: see the message below. Is there any way for you to post the false positive to their tech support? Duncan Murdoch

CA, by default, just deletes infected files, but having been bitten by this before, I had set it to quarantine them instead, and was able to restore them. So you might want to prepare for a stack of emails from users who have CA AV installed. Cheers, Martin
