[Issue 125409] New: Serious security files after trying to install
updates
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=125409
Issue ID: 125409
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Serious security files after trying to install updates
Product: Installation
Version: 4.1.0
Hardware: PC
OS: Windows 8
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: critical
Priority: P3
Component: update notifications
Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
Reporter: navarrosaez@hotmail.com
Hi twice in one week: I got alerts telling me to update my OO software. I
clicked and got badly bugged, and had trouble un-installing malware files.
However today the threat/files (2) would not be un-installed. Had to get Norton
to fix remotely. Now anxious about ever clicking on an OO download button -
which appears genuine, on your site. But I think perhaps some malware type
files have piggy backed onto some of your downloads. Next time I want to update
or download from OO, how will I know its bug-free and safe?
for your info the 2 bugs were 1) optimizer pro v3.2
2) Cinema Plus 1.2c which once I tried to uninstall threw up Nortons alert,
which said it was a SONAR.Heuritic.120 file
Many thanks
CNS

Hi --
Could you please tell us where you originally downloaded OpenOffice from?
Was it directly from our download area (to SourceForge)--
http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html
or somewhere else?
Please let us know.
If you are using version 4.1.0 you should NOT have received any request for
updates through the OpenOffice updater at this time. We recommend downloading
exclusively from http://www.openoffice.org/download to avoid problems.
