I can't speak for Norton which I have not had on a computer in thirty years, 
but if the file you download is accessible the described method proves it is or 
isn't as it left the code factory.  If it is as it left the code factory you 
may reasonably assume it is virus free and override Norton.  It is my 
experience that files downloaded from the main OpenOffice source 
/www.openoffice.org/download (as redirected) are virus free, but the decision 
to install or not must ultimately be yours.

If you simply answer "no" to the option of keeping your profile when you 
upgrade from 3.x to 4.x, you get a new and working profile without the 
need to look for workarounds later.


So this can be "solved" by simply not upgrading 3.x profiles any longer 
by default, starting with OpenOffice 4.2.0.

  Andrea.

There is no and never will be perfect software, but if the solution 
works then at least you have a working application
upgraded to the latest version where many other issues are solved.

This community is very democratic, you're free to contribute to fix the 
problem.



   I mean  somebody there decides when to change the software.


That's truth and because we live in a free society he is free to 
voluntarily contribute his time and energy to solve some issues.



  An the software changes for everybody Are this persons aware the problems

How do you come to the conclusion that the problems are related to 
changes in the software.
The problem may have been present for a long time, but have just 
manifested itself due to outside circumstances for example changes in 
the Operating System.



Spellcheck is one of them. Watch at the "best"   solution they  touchers   give

Correct! And nobody should say if you don't fix it don't upgrade.

Nobody is more important than others, but some are easier to work with.

   
The user that doesn't   know  How to Erase itś Profileis so important as the nerd...


Correct and that's why we help them by giving clear instructions.
And just for your understanding OpenOffice is maintained by volunteers 
who give their time and energy for free.
And because they are not more important and are willing to listen, they 
will be happy if anyone could find the cause of the problem until now 
they are in the dark.

Start by renaming your OpenOffice user profile.

As you are using Windows close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter. Open File
Explorer. Copy and paste %appdata%\OpenOffice\4 in the File Explorer (sometimes 
called Windows Explorer)
Address Bar and press Enter. Rename the "user" folder - "user.old" is a
good choice. Start OpenOffice.

This cures most spellcheck problems.

Why ever not? Freedom of choice is a *good* thing, not a bad one! And 
what's that about "If this is a community"? You can make your own choice 
to be part of a community or not.



Here nobody should feel more important than the others.


Exactly what makes you think anyone is being self-important? You are 
important enoiugh to make whatever changes you wish.
