Found a variant of this URL: http://galleries.secure-softwaremanager.com/82469bc3bc/854191c9b918/?affid=1343 This version was the main link promoted by a "Download OpenOffice" Facebook page that was around for a while, but is now gone ;-) I've seen similar links sent as spam via Twitter. Note the "affid" parameter in the URL. This suggests that not only is someone creating adulterated version of OpenOffice bloated with adware, but they are promoting this via a network of affiliates. This is like the Hydra with the hundred heads. -Rob > Thanks > > Rafael Forrer >
