To tell it short:

The virus alert is a false-positive - especially if it's Norton 360. OpenOffice is not infected by a virus but the anti-virus software has a wrong infection detection.

The following is an excerpt from an answer for another mail:

1. Disable the anti-virus software before downloading OpenOffice.
Only download from the official source:

http://www.openoffice.org/download/

2. For download, do not select open, select Save and place in a memorable location (your Download folder, for example).

3. Use any of the procedures for verifying the Download. This code is not signed, so you will have to use either the PGP or the MD5/SHA verifications. See here for procedures:

http://www.openoffice.org/download/checksums.html

4. In your anti-virus software, see if there is a setting where it will only remove or quarantine files after confirmation by you. This will let you over-rule it in the future, verifying the file yourself instead.
