A warning to everyone. I just found out by coincidence that dubious
download pages that we suspecting to spread malware with OpenOffice are
adding 'sponsored links' to books about OpenOffice at Amazon.

Hey, Just wanted to let you know that your program has a Trojan Horse
attached to it. I downloaded your program, so that I could create a
Powerpoint for school, and my security software informed me that there
was a Trojan Horse attached to the Open Office files. Luckily my
system protected my computer and blocked it immediately. So I then had
to uninstall the program. It might be a great idea to fix that asap.
Have a great day.
https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/how_to_safely_download_apache is a
great blog post on exactly that topic.
As Peter wrote it would be interesting where you downloaded the infected
version from. Checking your browser's history is the easiest way to find
that out.
http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html is the most reliable start
for downloading a clean copy of our favorite productivity suite.
