eTrust Antivirus (version 7.1.710) that the Win32/Adclicker.JO trojan was

Has anyone else seen this?

You're the first to report it, and 2.7.2 has been out for almost a month, so
I think it's likely that the CRAN copy is uninfected.  Did you check the md5
checksum on it?  It matches on the original, so if it doesn't match at your
end, you've got a bad download.

If it matches and you still get the virus checker reporting, please let me
know the details about that infection, and I'll try to do a manual
inspection for it.
