[R] Virus Infection in colorspace_1.1-1.zip (R x64 2.14.1)
I keep finding the Win32\Huer virus in colorspace_1.1-1.zip for R x64 2.14.1 running MS Windows 7. As a result I am not able to use rattle or ChemometricsWithR. I have tried several different mirrors with the same result. Fortunately AVG has caught and quarantined the problem, but the colorspace package is not available. I can use the package on my Linux OS, but, of course, Linux isn''t bothered by viruses. I''m posting this to the list as I am not sure just what to do with the information. Stephen P.

I'm skeptical that CRAN would produce a bug, but it's not unheard of for anti-viruses to not like its compiled code. Are you able to compile locally? That might make it more comfortable -- if you do so, you could also white list those files (since you made them) Not a perfect workaround, but AV tends not to like OSS stuff for whatever reason...
