Hi :) Please file a bug-report http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport
<rant> Oh, you know you can use it happily and safely. It's just MS trying to force people to buy their product by pretending that other things are suspicious. Why people continue to believe MS is beyond me. There are so many reports over the years about their formats being infected or transmitting malware (by their style of macros mostly and ActiveX if that's used) whereas absolutely none seem to have been transmitted by Open Document Formats. However, it does mean that you can't send anything to MS users without looking either bad or superior (depending on the person but usually bad). People that want to appear to be security concious use MS products with stacks of anti-malware and intriguingly sophisticated ways of working to avoid or check sites they visit. But people that are really serious about security and just want to run robust systems without spending hours and hours on keeping it free from malware run a *nix and OpenSource rather than risking letting malware hide in proprietary code that no-one can read or fix. Intriguingly most anti-virus programs claim that about 20% of Windows machines are infected but MS produced one that claimed it was more like 80% and this was heralded as a good thing because the MS antivirus was 'more thorough'. Despite false positives and all that i still think that 100% or Windows machines are infected as Windows itself acts more like a trojan than most trojans imo. </rant> The important thing is perception. While you are safe and your files are safe people wont tend to believe that and it might damage their long-term view of how much they can trust you.
