Hi Joice, In my opinion you need think about 2 things. 1- This is a problem of McAfee 8.5 not a R problem, so do you contact a McAfee support for fix this problem ? 2- I presume you use a windows but i do know your version (XP or Vista or win 95 etc) neither your R configuration (do you use "R --internet2" or not?) -- Bernardo Rangel Tura, M.D,MPH,Ph.D National Institute of Cardiology Brazil ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
