Hi All, I've had two emails from users in the last 24 hours about malware around one of my vignettes. A snippet from the last user is:
--- I was trying to install a R package that depends on PowerRLaw two weeks ago. However my virus protection software F secure did not allow me to install it from CRAN, while installation from GitHub worked normally. Virus protection software claimed that d_jss_paper.pdf is compromised. I asked about this from our IT support and they asked it from the company F secure. Now F secure has analysed the file and according them it is malware. “Upon analyzing, our analysis indicates that the file you submitted is malicious. Hence the verdict will remain --- Other information is: * Package in question: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/poweRlaw/index.html * Package hasn't been updated for three years * Vignette in question: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/poweRlaw/vignettes/d_jss_paper.pdf CRAN asked me to fix https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_poweRlaw.html a couple of days ago - which I'm in the process of doing. Any ideas? Thanks Colin ______________________________________________ R-package-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel
