I was on the phone with a tech support guy who helped me complete the download, then he had me download a program that was supposed to "clean up" my computer, and rid it of viruses etc. In the past year I've received 2-3 unlisted no caller ID calls from a man (seemingly from India or another foreign country to me) asking me about this download and telling me to call a toll free number. I'm concerned that I've been scammed, and have read a forum from 2011 about possible credit card fraud using Apache Open Office's name. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me with this issue, as I am concerned about my privacy when using Open Office or even making online purchases.

I don't know what you should do about your credit card. You should 
probably download a new copy of OpenOffice directly from 
http://www.openoffice.org/. You could ask here if you have problems 
installing it. You might want to consider having somebody local that 
you trust check your computer for viruses and other nasty stuff.  And 
presumably you don't want to call any dubious toll-free numbers.
