Hello,
I came across the following when I was installing the 'svs' package:
$ clamscan svs_1.0.3.zip
svs_1.0.3.zip: BAT.CMDFlood FOUND
----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Known viruses: 4035827
Engine version: 0.98.7
Scanned directories: 0
Scanned files: 1
Infected files: 1
clamscan finds this trojan in the source tarball as well. Does the
r-project does a virus scan of contributed packages? I had come across a
virus a few years earlier, but an email to the maintainer fixed that
issue. I have heard nothing (yet) from the maintainer in this case.
