Perhaps it's a false positive from eTrust. > If it matches and you still get the virus checker reporting, please let me > know the details about that infection eTrust still reports the signature match for Win32/Adclicker.JO; but I don't know anything about Win32/Adclicker.JO. Unfortunately, eTrust doesn't provide a link to a description of Win32/Adclicker.JO. For what it's worth, I'm using version 7.1.710 of Computer Associates eTrust Antivirus (with version 31.6.6099 of its signature file). I'll try to find out more.

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.
