[R] Problem with package installation

[Rubén Roa]

It was the Panda antivirus installed in the main corporate server of my company.
This antivirus program was corrupting the zip files containing the packages for Windows systems.
The problem was solved by including CRAN repositories as trustable webpages.

Best,
Rubén
