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
FILES\LOW\CONTENT.IE5\61HAYRTG\R-2.7.2-WIN32[1].EXE.
Has anyone else seen this?
It's not R, it's CA: see the message below. Is there any way for you
to post the false positive to their tech support?

Hi folks,
CA Antivirus this morning flagged all of my recent InnoSetup-created
setup exe files as having the Win32/Adclicker.JO trojan in them. CA, by
default, just deletes infected files, but having been bitten by this
before, I had set it to quarantine them instead, and was able to restore
them.
So you might want to prepare for a stack of emails from users who have
CA AV installed.
Cheers,
Martin
