I never had a problem downloading from OpenOffice.org. I just loaded it to a brand new Mac and other than the known issues with OSX 10.9, I’ve encountered nothing suspicious or malevolent. I can’t make the same claim regarding 3rd party distributors.

Re: Shame on you.
Hi Terry, You have a right to be upset, but I think your anger is misdirected. We do not bundle any other programs with Apache OpenOffice. Absolutely none. Our downloads are carefully scanned for viruses and are accompanied by digital signatures and cryptographic hashes to allow users to verify their integrity. However, there are 3rd parties that sometimes take OpenOffice and bundle it with other applications of the kind you describe. In some cases they put up fake websites, or purchase advertisements in search engine search results, to lure people to their website. You can read more about this, and what you can do about it, in the following blog post: https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/how_to_safely_download_apache As others have suggested, it would help if you can check your system, your browser history, download directory, etc., to ascertain exactly what website you downloaded from and what program (name, date and size) you downloaded. That information can help us identify the culprit and take further action. You mention reporting this incident to consumer authorities. I recommend that as well, as we do in the blog post, but please be careful to first identify exactly what occurred and who is to blame. I can assure you it was not us.

I don't have the FindWide virus installed (and I'm not sure why I would install it) 2. I don't use any of the mentioned web browsers…
