Windows 7 as operating system. As the FAQ suggests, I uninstalled
2.13.0 before installing 2.13.1. On first opening R, I ran
"update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE, ask=FALSE) ras also recommended

Windows is protecting you. You need to convince it you do not need
protection. Search for ways to increase your Win-fu.
