Very true, but a far more important security step IS to obtain valid signature/hash value from the publisher of the file, and then to calculate the signature/hash of the downloaded file. Doing so reveals both that you have the original file, and that your download was complete. It helps ensure that you do not have malware but also that your installation attempts are problem free. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
