If you download from www.openoffice.org/download you will be routed to 
sourceforge who host our downloads.  If you check that you are downloading from 
such a site you can be reasonably certain that the warning from TrendMicro is a 
false positive.  You can verify the download by checking its MD5Sum as told at
http://www.openoffice.org/download/checksums/3.4.1_checksums.html#howto
You can obtain the MD5Sum from
http://www.openoffice.org/download/checksums/3.4.1_checksums.html

Great care is taken with our download files that they do not become 
contaminated with virises or malware; from other sites not under or control 
they are often loaded with adware and other objectionable addons.  But from the 
above sites I feel sure you ought have no problems.
