Yes, this is a keylogger, but all keyloggers are not bad in spite
of what you think The file that goes into that folder is a cache file
that OOo uses to determine what OOo has written in folders in the
temporary folder it uses. It does NOT log key strokes, which is what
you are thinking.
I just used OOo to begin writing an HTML document. After adding
some text, I checked the cache file in the store folder. It has not
changed since about 5:30 this morning which is more than 12 hours
ago. So, it could not be logging my keystrokes.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention, but your software has
found a false positive.
