Correct, it's not legal... and has nothing to do with Apache OpenOffice. You've downloaded and installed ransomware on your computer. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ransomware> Probably similar to these schemes: <http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9198743/Ransomware_rears_ugly_head_demands_120_to_unlock_files> <http://www.net-security.org/malware_news.php?id=2594> <http://skyrunner.net/wordpress/continuing-news-on-the-cryptolocker-ransomware-virus-this-is-a-nasty-one-folks-take-precautions/> I recommend that you disconnect your system from the internet & take your computer to a local computer expert/service and get it cleaned.
