Yes; it matched: 540090dd892657804d1099c54d6f770d
And it is binary identical to the Austria CRAN one.
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.
Sounds promising. Perhaps it's a false positive from eTrust.
Likely. A quick Googling indicates that other programs have been
"caught" too.
This link is illuminative:

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.
Thanks,
Dave

eTrust Antivirus (version 7.1.710) that the Win32/Adclicker.JO trojan was
detected:
The Win32/Adclicker.JO was detected in
C:\USERS\USER\APPDATA\LOCAL\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\TEMPORARY INTERNET

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.
