Hi!
I am a missionary in Madagascar and my online anti-virus program (TrendMicro)
has all the sites your site sends me to to download your software as
unacceptably UNSAFE. I went to order a CD and your site says it is studying
the possibility of doing this again.
Please work out a safe download site with TrendMicro so they don't block your
downloads. And, if there is a solution for me I don't see at prsent, please
so advise me. Thanks in advance.

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.
