See output below:
$ clamscan -ri svs/
./svs/extdata/InvT_Eng.txt: BAT.CMDFlood FOUND
In the tarball, the file is "./inst/extdata/InvT_Eng.txt", and clamscan
gives the same output.
$ file svs/extdata/InvT_Eng.txt
./svs/extdata/InvT_Eng.txt: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators
I managed to find a Windows machine to scan the file (using MS System
center Endpoint), and it detected no threat! False positive, as you
suggested.
Thanks,
Bijoy Joseph

Virus scanners generate a fair amount of false positives. Does it persist if
you unpack the zip file or the source tarball? If so, what file has the issue?

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.
