Where did you download from?  There's no malware when you get it from
www.openoffice.org.

Alvaro, the only "users" who have problems you describe are those who 
download from sites _*other than*_ OO's official site   
*http://openoffice.apache.org*.

Please redirect your unkind remarks about OO download file to the site 
where you found it.  OO doesn't not add garbage nor malware.

OO has a great product that is growing in popularity so it follows the 
unethical will use it to trick the unsuspecting.  Stop the unethical, 
don't download from their sites. 

OO developers worked very hard and spent many hours to provide a great 
program.  They desire accolades.

Save yourself a lot of headaches, work and frustration by ensuring you 
are downloading from an ethical site.  It is known you did not get your 
download from the official OO site.

An OO user

The official version of Apache OpenOffice does not contain any malware. 
We actively enforce our trademarks and block other sites that bundle 
malware when we can. See http://s.apache.org/genuine-openoffice for all 
details.

As others have said, the program itself contains no malware. However, we
know there are some download sites that insert toolbar installers,
sideloaders, advertising and other malware into the download. Please can
you help us by telling us where you downloaded the package from? Maybe we
can then take some action to stop other users being harmed.

Thanks,

S.
