Hi,
Thanks for the info, it was rather disturbing as my browsers are set to
clear addresses at exit to stop pages being opened maliciously. (I've been
hit before by mistyped addresses suddenly opening up dozens of windows which
you just can't close down). I'd have been surprised if OOo had malicious
code, but you just have to be so careful these days.
Regards
B.

Hi Brian,
I'm not familiar with NetCaptor, but it looks like OOo was attempting to
run your browser in order to display the html page you were working on.
It's possible that netcaptor had stored the last site visited and was
trying to reach it. It looks like you're well protected, though. I don't
know all the inner workings of OpenOffice, but I doubt that there was
any malicious intent coming from the program. Someone from the
development team may be able to shed more light on this subject.
