The easiest way to warn novice users is a warning message in the
installation script.
Maybe something like:
"Make sure you have downloaded OpenOffice from one of these
sites Apache <http://www.apache.openoffice.org/> or Sourceforge
<http://sourceforge.net>"

Great advice and, like you, I have never gotten malware from a
download whether OO or ?? as I always research first.
Unfortunately, your comments are kind of "hindsight" as these people
won't find your wise words until they start searching for someone to
blast.
A quest for those of us who understand safe downloading is to help
others learn how important it is to ensure downloads are from an
official site.
I am not computer literate enough to know how to spread this type of
message. Is there something like Twitter or Facebook or ?? to pass
learning thus prevent bad experience?
Thank you for listening

Greetings all:
It has been repeated on this list time and time again to only
download Open Office from the actual official site. You must make
sure you have the correct URL. And asking before you endeavor to
strike out on the download may be a good idea if you have the least
little doubt. There are many download sites, even from what you would
expect would be malware free, but they are not. Please, ask if you
have any doubt and think before you press that download to make sure
you are getting what you expect to get. I have NEVER had any
difficultY with malware of any sort from the official site and I have
been using the product for years.
