------- Additional comments from dave_...@openoffice.org Wed Sep 29 15:52:59 +0000 2010 ------- On my windows 2000 PC, I needed to uninstall various applications. One of these was OO.o 3, so I ran the uninstall program and all seemed well. The uninstall program also uninstalled some components of the MS C++ 9 redistributable package, namely msvcp90.dll and msvcr90.dll, from the system32 folder. These dll's are also used by other programs and should _not_ be removed - in this case, it stopped my Avast anti-virus from loading! I reinstalled OO.o and it put the files back, on uninstalling, it removed them again! I can confirm that this is also the case on some installations of Windows XP. While the workaround is reinstalling the MS C++ redistributable, the effect is not noticed until trying to run a program (Avast for example) that requires it, and therefore appears to the user that they have a possible virus on their system! This can cause a lot of error checking and searching for other installed software support. I believe it should be fixed with some urgency! I am sending this issue to the Avast! support team so that they are aware of it! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
