People redirected to the SourceForge from Openoffice.org have ended up 
downoading the program from a malicious third party. Whilst the cause of that 
issue has been dealt with, it is extremely difficult to deal with all the 
mutations of persuading people to part with a buck to download something.

The only practical solution is to constantly educate people about good computer 
hygiene practices.   (What is really sad, is that malware that used to only be 
found only in the cyberspace equivalent of a bar that prohibited unarmed 
patrons, is now peddled by major websites.)
