  I suppose you are speaking about the Windows binaries.
  I cannot give 100% guarantee, of course. But, I prepare them
  on a machine not connected to the net and protected.
  In addition, we don't have any incident reported.

  "CRAN does not have Windows systems and cannot check these
   binaries for viruses. Use the normal precautions with downloaded
   executables."
