[R] virus - free

[Ko-Kang Wang]

Although I cannot say with 100% confidence, I can tell you they are virus-free with
perhaps 99% confidence, that is if you choose to download from CRAN official site.
Any thing downloaded from an "official" site are almost always virus free (at least
my PC has not got infected yet from downloading from an official site)...

However, it is always safe to have a virus scanner installed in your local machine,
or server, and do a virus check before you install anything.

Cheers,
