Hello John,
of course we are grateful for the tip. It seems, however, that Dave did
not make that clear enough. He appears to be more annoyed by people who
mention trouble with download than with those fraudulent people who
provide downloads infected with malware. Please be so kind as to tell us
from where you downloaded the infected version of OpenOffice - Dave
conveniently forgot to ask for that. We apologise for the
misunderstanding and hope that by now you found yourself an uninfected
download for OpenOffice.
Yours sincerely
Max

I realise it was not an Apache site.
I thought it might help you to know that there is a bloody swine operating
on Google under your name.
I imagined you might be grateful for the tip.
No? So go and get stuffed.

Dear Sirs,
On my recommendation, a friend in Salzburg tried to install
Openoffice.org on his iMac on Thursday 20 Feb and found it was infected
with Genieo malware including fake Adobe and fake Java installations.
Manage to clean out the mess, but it left me looking stupid as I have
had OO.org on my computer for several years without problems.
Be warned.

If whatever it was you installed contained the malware you say, then it
was not Apache OpenOffice and you were hoodwinked into downloading from
a malicious website. Regrettably, this is something that Apache
OpenOffice is unable to prevent.
The only official download website is:
http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html
The download link there will take you to the official SourceForge.net
servers.
Dave
