Hi Petr, I can repeat this behavior (or similar) with Norton Security:
R-devel-win.exe is reported by Download Insight R-3.4.1patched-win.exe is reported by Download Insight R-3.4.1-win.exe is fine And the report is that the binary is very new (released less than 1 week ago) and has very few users (less than 5 in "Norton Community"), which is not surprising given that these files are updated frequently. There is no other report/warning. With Norton Security, one has the option to allow execution of the file and to check "Always allow this file (if Run is chosen)".
