I have been using Open Office 3.1 for a while now. But, today, I could not
use any of the features. Instead, a message pops up for me to register my
OpenOffice 3.1.  Is this a new thing?  Or, is it a virus? Nothing on the OO
website, as far as I can see.

Should I register? Will I have to do it daily?

I am dead in the water. Thanks for your help
