Gen:Variant.Kazy.7792 is NOT a virus. The term "virus" is overused an abused. All viruses are malware but not all malware are viruses. A variant of Generic Kazy is a heuristic detection for a trojan and in all probabilities is a False Positive declaration by your un-named anti malware solution. There is NOTHING OpenOffice can do to fix a False Positive declaration by an un-named anti malware solution. It is that un-named anti malware solution that has to correct its signatutes to negate the False Positive declaration. I have POCs at many anti malware vendors. To correct this you need to identify EXACTLY what files are being detected (or send me copies of said files) and indicate who is the vendor of the un-named anti malware solution that declared this False Positive of "Gen:Variant.Kazy.7792". -- Dave Multi-AV Scanning Tool - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] For additional commands send email to [email protected] with Subject: help
