<p>It happened again today. We received an email from a very frustrated
user, complaining that OpenOffice had taken over his browser, installed new
toolbars, replaced the browser's home page, was causing pop-ups to surface on
every page, etc. To make things worse, none of these programs could be
uninstalled via normal means.</p>
<p>When we at the <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg";>Apache
OpenOffice project</a> receive reports like this -- and we receive them a
couple of times every week -- the first thing I ask is, "Where did you download
OpenOffice from?" In today's case, when the user checked his browser's
history he found what I suspected, that it was not downloaded from
www.openoffice.org, but was a modified version, from another website, that was
also installing other applications on [...]
<p>This is one of several traps for the unwary on the web today. It does
not happen just to OpenOffice. Other popular open source applications,
especially end user ones, run into this problem, e.g., Audacity, 7Zip,
etc.<br/></p>
-<p>Things to watch out for include:
-<pre><code> </p>
- <ol>
- <li> Websites offering downloads of OpenOffice but requiring the use
of a special &quot;installer&quot; or &quot;downloader&quot;
application that installs other, unwanted applications before installing
OpenOffice.</li>
- <li>Installers that ask you to <a
href="http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?Name=Program%3aWin32%2fPameseg.AO">send
an SMS</a> in order to receive a registration key to use
OpenOffice.<br /></li>
- <li>Websites that try to sell you OpenOffice.&nbsp;&nbsp;
This sometimes happens on online auction sites.&nbsp; Although it is
entirely legitimate to sell CD's of OpenOffice as a convenience (bandwidth is
limited in many parts of the world), users should know that they can always
download OpenOffice for free at www.openoffice.org.<br /></li>
- <li>Websites that claim to sell you OpenOffice bundled with support,
but then just direct you to the free community support forums, a service that
we make available to all users at no charge.<br /></li>
- <li>Websites that have domain names, or social media account names,
that are variations on &quot;OpenOffice&quot;, but which point to
websites that try to sell you OpenOffice or offer you a download of a version
that is modified to install adware.</li>
- <li>Websites that purchase sponsored ads in search engines so their
advertisements feature prominently when a user searches for
&quot;OpenOffice&quot; or &quot;Open Office&quot; or similar
keywords, and using these ads to draw traffic to their website, where the
modified version of OpenOffice is offered.<br /></li>
- </ol>
- <p>The common pattern in these cases is that someone is using the good
name and reputation of our project, and often our trademarked logos, to confuse
you, the user, into thinking that the website is offering you a genuine copy of
OpenOffice.&nbsp;&nbsp; These downloads, aside from the unwanted
&quot;extras&quot; they may install, are often based on older versions
of OpenOffice, and lack important security updates, putting you even more at
risk.<br /></p>

community. There may be other reputable websites that offer OpenOffice
downloads as well, like SourceForge or CNet or others. They stand on
their own reputation. <br/></p>So what can you do if you are tricked into
installing a unsafe version of OpenOffice? </p>
-<pre><code> <ol>
- <li>If you are comfortable diagnosing and repairing your system, run
anti-virus and malware scans, using a reputable program from a reputable
source.&nbsp; This is an occasion where getting help may be
warranted.</li>

you.&nbsp; If you can provide URL's, and a statement about what the
software did to your system, this can help us better understand where these
things are occurring and to take appropriate action. &nbsp; Reports can be

<p>We had hints about spam increases at the end of last year, it has
been confirmed from the very start of 2012!&nbsp; After some months
fighting fierce spam activity, we decided to moderate posts from new members
(end of April). The result is now very effective: spam is definitively
eradicated. Accounts are still banned in case of commercial links in user

<p>It happened again today.&nbsp; We received an email from a very
frustrated user, complaining that OpenOffice had taken over his browser,
installed new toolbars, replaced the browser's home page, was causing pop-ups
to surface on every page, etc.&nbsp; To make things worse, none of these
programs could be uninstalled via normal means.</p>
<p>When we at the <a
href="http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg">Apache OpenOffice
project</a> receive reports like this -- and we receive them a couple of
times every week -- the first thing I ask is, "Where did you download
OpenOffice from?" &nbsp; In today's case, when the user checked his
browser's history he found what I suspected, that it was not downloaded from
www.openoffice.org, but was a modified version, from another website, that was
also installing [...]
<p>This is one of several traps for the unwary on the web
today.&nbsp; It does not happen just to OpenOffice.&nbsp; Other popular
open source applications, especially end user ones, run into this problem,
e.g., Audacity, 7Zip, etc.<br/></p>
-<p>Things to watch out for include:
-<pre><code> &lt;/p&gt;
- &lt;ol&gt;
- &lt;li&gt; Websites offering downloads of OpenOffice but requiring
the use of a special &amp;quot;installer&amp;quot; or
&amp;quot;downloader&amp;quot; application that installs other,
unwanted applications before installing OpenOffice.&lt;/li&gt;
- &lt;li&gt;Installers that ask you to &lt;a
href="http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?Name=Program%3aWin32%2fPameseg.AO"&gt;send
an SMS&lt;/a&gt; in order to receive a registration key to use
OpenOffice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
- &lt;li&gt;Websites that try to sell you
OpenOffice.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; This sometimes happens on online
auction sites.&amp;nbsp; Although it is entirely legitimate to sell CD's of
OpenOffice as a convenience (bandwidth is limited in many parts of the world),
users should know that they can always download OpenOffice for free at
www.openoffice.org.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
- &lt;li&gt;Websites that claim to sell you OpenOffice bundled with
support, but then just direct you to the free community support forums, a
service that we make available to all users at no charge.&lt;br
/&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
- &lt;li&gt;Websites that have domain names, or social media account
names, that are variations on &amp;quot;OpenOffice&amp;quot;, but which
point to websites that try to sell you OpenOffice or offer you a download of a
version that is modified to install adware.&lt;/li&gt;
- &lt;li&gt;Websites that purchase sponsored ads in search engines
so their advertisements feature prominently when a user searches for
&amp;quot;OpenOffice&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Open
Office&amp;quot; or similar keywords, and using these ads to draw traffic
to their website, where the modified version of OpenOffice is
offered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
- &lt;/ol&gt;
- &lt;p&gt;The common pattern in these cases is that someone is using
the good name and reputation of our project, and often our trademarked logos,
to confuse you, the user, into thinking that the website is offering you a
genuine copy of OpenOffice.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; These downloads, aside
from the unwanted &amp;quot;extras&amp;quot; they may install, are
often based on older versions of OpenOffice, and lack important security
updates, putting you even more at [...]
- &lt;p&gt;Be safe.&amp;nbsp; Remember this simple

They stand on their own reputation.&nbsp; <br/></p>So what can
you do if you are tricked into installing a unsafe version of OpenOffice?
&nbsp;</p>
-<pre><code> &lt;ol&gt;
- &lt;li&gt;If you are comfortable diagnosing and repairing your
system, run anti-virus and malware scans, using a reputable program from a
reputable source.&amp;nbsp; This is an occasion where getting help may be
warranted.&lt;/li&gt;
- &lt;li&gt;There are several services that collect reports on
incidents such as this.&amp;nbsp; &lt;a
href="http://www.stopbadware.org/home/index"&gt;StopBadware&lt;/a&gt;
and &lt;a
href="http://www.sitejabber.com/"&gt;SiteJabber&lt;/a&gt; are two
prominent ones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
- &lt;li&gt;Let us know, at the Apache OpenOffice project, what
happened to you.&amp;nbsp; If you can provide URL's, and a statement about
what the software did to your system, this can help us better understand where
these things are occurring and to take appropriate action. &amp;nbsp;
