Dear R-list members,
I have just downloaded R 2.12.0 for Windows. When installing, my antivirus software detected some malware during the installation process. I use Windows XP SP3. My antivirus software is Avira Premium Security Suite, product version 10.0.0.542 (19/4/2010), search engine 8.02.04.82 (14/10/2010), virus definition file 7.10.12.231 (17/10/2010). That software said: "Malware found". When I clicked in "details", I found this information: object: open.exe; Detection: TR/ATRAPS.Gen. Consulting the Avira web site, this is indicated as a Trojan, dated 15 May 2008. I have repeated the installation process twice, always with the same malware detection. When installing, I used the English language, I ticked the "Technical Manuals", "PDF help pages" and "docs for Packages grid and Matrix", and I used the default options. Should I proceed with the installation of that version of R? Thank you very much.
