Heckler > Mission Co-Worker > Presbyterian Church (USA) > Antananarivo, Madagascar If you download from www.openoffice.org/download you will be routed to sourceforge who host our downloads. If you check that you are downloading from such a site you can be reasonably certain that the warning from TrendMicro is a false positive. You can verify the download by checking its MD5Sum as told at http://www.openoffice.org/download/checksums/3.4.1_checksums.html#howto You can obtain the MD5Sum from http://www.openoffice.org/download/checksums/3.4.1_checksums.html Great care is taken with our download files that they do not become contaminated with virises or malware; from other sites not under or control they are often loaded with adware and other objectionable addons. But from the above sites I feel sure you ought have no problems. -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie>
