Open office install and ads

Hi

I installed open office today and after I did I noticed I was getting alot
of pop up ads I hadnt previously gotten while on the web visiting various
pages.

Does your version of Open Office come with ad software attached and if so
how can I remove it?

Thanks
Brian

OpenOffice doesn't come with adds, at least when you have downloaded it 
from www.openoffice.org which redirect you to www.sourceforge.net

G'day Brian
If there is an official site for any software, use it. Software 
downloaded from a third party site, which may be partly funded by 
selling ad software, often results in you getting more than you 
bargained for. I never use them, never get unwanted ad popups.
Cheers
Tony
