OO doesn't normally come with websearch assistant or other spyware.
It sounds like you found a "hi-jacked" repackaging of the tool. 
What was the program name of the file you installed, and where did you get it?

I'm sorry but if you've installed some malware, it may be interfering
with the normally easy install and un-install of openoffice.

"Real" openoffice can be found at download.openoffice.org

I'd suggest (in this order)
  * running anti-spyware tools (S&D, adaware, etc) Depending on the
strength of the malware, you may need hijackthis.
  * uninstalling the openoffice version (try this microsoft tool which
uninstalls garbaged installations  
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/en )
  * downloading a clean version and installing this

Good luck, and sorry about your experience
