| OpenOffice,

| Just a thought, but is there a chance of picking up a virsu from downloading
| OpenOffice?

| Thanks and Regards,

I, and others, assume you mean "virus".

People have gotten into a bad habit and assume all malcious software are 
"viruses".  The 
fact it all viruses are malware but not all malware are viruses.

So the real question should be...
"...is there a chance of picking up malware from downloading OpenOffice?"

The chance is EXTREMELY small IFF you you download it from official 
distribution 
sites/channels.
If you download OpenOffice from a torrent, a P2P or from Usenet then the 
chances of 
malware being inserted into the installer is EXTREMLY high.
