I just upgraded my Win7 32bits installation to 2.14.0 after deinstalling
2.12.x
First thing I moved the win-library from 2.12 to 2.14 and executed a
update.packages(ask='graphics',checkBuilt=TRUE)
(Swiss mirror).
This aborts with the console message:
Error in if (any(diff)) { : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed
And the antivirus (AVG) pops up complaining that colorspace.dll contains
the virus Win32/Heur
I cannot ignore the thread because update.packages has already crashed
when I can reach the antivirus dialogbox to push the "ignore" button.
To continue I had to remove the colorspace and ggplot2 packages.
Is it a known problem? What else can I do (except removing the above
packages or changing antivirus)?
Thanks!

And please report the false positive to AVG: the more they hear about the more attention they will give it. The binary distribution has been checked by e.g. Sophos (which both winbuilder and ox.ac.uk use).> > Thanks! > mario > > -- > Ing.

Thanks to all that responded privately!
If you have AVG and needs the colorspace (or ggplot2) package do the
following from a suitably privileged account:
1) Open AVG gui and select Components->Anti virus from the menu
2) Click "Advanced settings..." and then go to "Temporary disable
AVG
protection" Here you need half a million clicks to disable protection
for 10 min
3) Install colorspace package from R (I installed ggplot2 that installs
colorspace)
4) Go to the user library and note the path to the colorspace.dll . In
my case it is:
"C:\Users\mvalle\R\win-library\2.14\colorspace\libs\i386\colorspace.dll"
(SHIFT-click and then "Copy as path" is handy)
5) In the open AVG window click "Manage Exceptions" then Add File and
add the path above
6) On the main AVG gui there is a big button that reenables protection.
Voil?, no more problems.
Thanks again!
