Dear R People: I am using R-2.13.2 on a Windows 7 machine. I compiled from source on 32 bit a couple of weeks ago and the R.dll got removed by my anti-virus software. Same thing on 64 bit today. Is anyone having this problem, please? I'm using Norton AV. Thanks, Erin

I haven't heard of this particular problem before. Generally the problems we have had have been with other Antivirus programs finding false positives in our pre-compiled distributions. Duncan Murdoch
I regularly have the R.dll removed. AFAI can tell, it depends partly on how aggressive a heuristic level you have chosen, in part I think related to the number of users. In any case you can restore it and set a rule to have it ignored. I suppose you could tell symantec, but it's never been enough of a nuisance to me to set my own rules to bother trying to contact them. Josh

From your own builds, or the pre-built binaries? Duncan Murdoch

Pre-built binaries....I think, though it seems like it happened from a compiled r devel at some point (memory of the exact versions is a bit hazy, and recently I am careful to make sure to say the file is safe now).
