Sure... uninstall Norton. Sorry, couldn't help myself :-) Use the Windows manager (Windows Explorer?) and navigate to the c:\Program Files\OpenOffice 2.3\share\ folder. Right click and run a virus scan on the folder and it's subdirectories. Then: c:\Program Files\OpenOffice 2.3\share\config\images_crystal.zip right click and scan just that file. What results do you get? When in doubt, get a second opinion; do an online scan: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html http://support.f-secure.com/enu/home/ols.shtml I've just scanned the c:\Program Files\OpenOffice 2.3\ and it's subdirectories on my dualboot Windows drives using clamav (updated database) and find no problems at all. BTW: the images_crystal.zip file contains all of the icons etc., for the crystal theme in OOo. There should be nothing in there that would trigger a virus alarm. Oh... and take the advise of others; consider looking at an alternate AV; Norton may be good at detecting actual viruses etc., but it's overall software & addins score a -10 in my book. To blow out Norton you may have to use their 'special' uninstaller to do so. Try something else - this might help: http://www.av-comparatives.org/ http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=antivirus+comparison+tests&btnG=Search When I do run windows, I use AVG, clamav, or bitdefender. Norton (even now being offered for free by my DSL ISP) gets immediately removed on any system that I service/touch. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
