Hello

[Alexandru Naiboiu <na...@gmail.com>]

  I am using Open Office and I must admit that for a regular user is as
good as Microsoft Office. I want to wish you good luck in making the
software better and better every day.

  At this point I want to bring to your attention this plugin
https://www.arielch.org/aoo/aoo-pdf-import/ . I downloaded it and when I
tried to install 360 security said that it has a trojan. Please check it
and see if it is really a trojan.


    Thank you.

The Extensions site hosts third-party extensions too: this is actually 
its primary purpose, so people should not expect to find only official 
work from the OpenOffice project there. Actually this is how the 
Extensions concept works for a variety of software applications.

If it is not a false positive (unfortunately, a lot of anti-virus 
software makes mistake, and we see it for new releases of OpenOffice 
too) then the extension will be blocked. But history and the people 
involved would lead me to conclude that this is likely to be a false 
positive. Let's see what Ariel (in CC) has to say.

Regards,
   Andrea.

I clicked where I marked with red. I did not clicked on the green google
adsense Start Download advertising.

   You should take in consideration that I got to this extension from the
OpenOffice website:
http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/pdf-import-apache-openoffice

   So I find it quite normal to trust an extension found on the
openoffice.org domain. And any other regular user will do the same.


          Thank you for your time to answer my email.

That extension, for restrictions due to licensing of needed libraries, 
is not released by the OpenOffice project, but by Ariel as an individual 
(even though Ariel is a prominent OpenOffice developer and the Release 
Manager for the next OpenOffice release). I'm putting Ariel in CC just 
in case.

   Andrea.
