There is one more thing - I have ignored the warning and downloaded the
software. After that I run a full system scan and I got the same infection
message. Unfortunately I set an automatically delete of the infected file...
I'm not writing this because I enjoy buzzing you - as indicated by the avira
antivirus the documentfoundation.org web site may have been infected.
Sincerely,
Petre Borocan

Hi :)
Ok, i got the attachment off-list and he error is being thrown up by an
Antivirus i haven't used before but is a fairly big name. It could be a false
positive but it's better to let the websites team know about it even if it is.
They might be able to contact Avira and let them know of the problem, if it
is a false positive. If it's a real problem then they are the ones that could
fix it fastest. So, a win-win.

Hi :)
Have you tried downloading the Windows one in Mint and then run a antivirus
scan on it? maybe Clamav?
I'm sure i downloaded LO recently on an Xp and on a Win 7 macine with no
problems but i might have another look later.
Could someone forwards the problem to the websites mailing list to see if
something new has cropped up?

Tom :)

Hi Tom,
Please see attached a new print screen when attempting (second time) to
download the Windows version of LibreOffice.
(I'm, already using it on Linux Mint).
The message clearly indicates the website has been infected with a malware.
Maybe (hopefully) Linux users are not affected but those on Windows
certainly are.
Kind regards,
Petre

Hi :)
It is unlikely the LibreOffice website is infected because it runs on
unix-based platforms such as GnuLinux. I don't think any of the
internet-facing servers run on Windows. Also i suspect that uploads get
scanned and stuff on the servers gets scanned fairly regularly. However it
might be wise if we let the websites team know there might be an issue.
On Debian you might be able to install an antivirus program such as
Clamtk (the Gnome/Cinnamon/Mate/Xfce front-end to clamav) or BitDefender or
something. Personally i tend to use specialist LiveCds such as
http://trinityhome.org/Home/index.php?content=TRINITY_RESCUE_KITCPR_FOR_YOUR_COMPUTERfront_id=12lang=enlocale=en
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=trinity
or one of the other System Rescue type distros listed at
http://distrowatch.com/
I quite like Trinity Rescue Kit because i have used it quite often but i
haven't tried any of the others much. TRK can sort out quite a few Windows
problems quite quickly or just do maintance. I would use it to safely
declutter first but emptying the temp folders and caches before leaving it
to do an over-night antivirus scan and i would get it to run just 1 of the
av programs at a time rather than 1 after another, at least until i had
some idea how long the scans took on your machine. They are a bit
thorough! Even 1 could easily take all night.
Actually i would probably start by just installing clamtk inside Debian
and scan from there. That way i could keep working while the scan was
running. After that scan it might be easier to decide how to proceed.
Obviously Debain wont be affected by the Windows viruses so you can carry
on working on the documents that are on the Windows side of your machine.
Just make sure you scan documents before sending them on to other Windows
users.
Good luck! Thanks for letting us know!
Regards from
Tom :)

Dear LibreOffice Team,
My antivirus program under Windows is blocking the access to your
website because it is infected with a malware. I'm accessing your
website using a linux operating system (debian based distro).
Is it possible for you to check if your website has been infected?
And thank you for the excellent office suite you have created.
Kind regards
