Power point

[Pete Peroulas]

Good afternoon,

I have a pptx file that has sound file.  The file opens, the pages advance, 
when I get to the sound part of the presentation, no sound.  This is in 2 
sections. The files work on a windows machine, but not on Mac.  

Thank you in advance,

Pete

Optimum installer (was: Open Office Impress, the free power point)

Following up to myself with more details since we now know where the 
problem came from:

As Peter wrote it would be interesting where you downloaded the infected
version from. Checking your browser's history is the easiest way to find
that out.


We now know where he downloaded it from. He got it from a place that 
bundles it with some adware named optimum-installer. In their download 
page for OpenOffice they are not shy about it and document that:
  XXX is distributing custom installers which are different from the 
originally available distribution. These new installers comply with the 
original software manufacturers’ policies and terms  conditions, 
however, they are not the originals. Optimum Installer is an install 
manager, which manages the installation of your chosen software. In 
addition to managing your download and installation, Optimum Installer 
will offer free popular software that you may be interested in. You are 
not required to install any additional software to complete your 
installation of your selected software. You can always completely remove 
the programs at any time in Windows’ Add/Remove Programs


The trojan horse alert of his security software was apparantly triggered 
by the adware they are bundling that is apparently quite nosy and 
communicative.



http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html is the most reliable start
for downloading a clean copy of our favorite productivity suite.


This cannot be overstated. Please spread the word.

In actuality, no we don't know that, he might be describing a false
positive.

If there is any uncertainty, send me the URL.  I have VM's for Windows
2000-8 and can easily test any suspect download sites without risk of
contamination.

Re: Open Office Impress, the free power point.

[Rob Weir]

That's the main way the get traffic.  Try searching for OpenOffice on
Bing or Google..  Same thing with the sponsored ads.   I've seen
similar on Facebook as well.

I've explained in several previous posts what can be done in such
situations.  I've included the links to the relevant complaint forms.
We just need someone to drive this with Apache so a proper complaint
can be submitted.  It must come from the trademark's legal owner..

 A warning to everyone. I just found out by coincidence that dubious download 
 pages that we suspecting to spread malware with OpenOffice are adding 
 'sponsored links' to books about OpenOffice at Amazon.
