Thanks, Tommy -- I installed 4.1.1.2, and the problem still exists. It does
seem to recover after a long, long wait -- maybe 5 minutes or more. 

Is there really no one else working on LibreOffice who has Win8(64)? As you're
aware from having a copy of the doc in question, it contains numerous graphical
insertions, but I suspect the problem has to do less with that than with
LibreOffice on my particular platform. 


I've used OpenOffice occasionally for a long time without problem, though I may
never have tried this particular document with OpenOffice--can't recall. I also
don't seem to have any problem with other documents in LibreOffice, though I
haven't had occasion to try it extensively so far, especially with pasting in
lots of graphics. I'll keep experimenting on my end, and appreciate the efforts
to resolve the issue.

I do feel I need to say a word about myself and the comments by you and others
regarding my experience. I'm a retired SysAdmin and have been using or
supporting PC's since their inception in the early '80's. I've had extensive
experience with every version of Windows desktop and server since 3.0,
installing, configuring, networking, supporting, etc., until my retirement 6
years ago. So, while I'm sure I'm not up on the latest OS and software
developments, I'm not moronic enough to have clicked on the wrong download
link, as some of you seem to presume. I'm not a programmer, and I can certainly
make mistakes (like anyone else), but I do pretty much know what I'm doing with
PC's.

I'm also as sympathetic, even committed, to the philosophy of open source
software. However, every time I've tried it (various types and versions over
the years), I've found open source to be more problematic than commercial
software. Except for early use of WordPerfect, I've always used MS Office
because of my sysadmin work in collaborative workgroups. OpenOffice was never
able to quite match the collaborative features of MS Office. I've always
deplored the proprietary nature and expense of MS licensing, however, and I no
longer need the collaborative features of MS Office.

So I'd appreciate it if you'd please try not to pre-judge the abilities or
experience of me or other users. I still do not believe that the trojan
installation was a "false positive," especially since I began having trouble
with malware at precisely the same time. I don't accuse you or anyone else of
intentional maliciousness, but while I can't (and shouldn't have to) explain
what happened when I tried to download PocketOffice from the link you provided,
what I experienced was real and not the result of ignorance on my part.

I apologize for the long diatribe, but I do feel that the attitudes of you and
others involved here have been somewhat prejudicial and even bordering on
insulting. This is not helpful. I'm a good-faith user with a significant
problem that others have clearly experienced as well. I'm still here, still
hoping for a solution, and still willing to help where I can. So, maybe we can
all treat each other with respect and get on solving the problem now...? Again,
I do appreciate the ongoing efforts by you and others, but I also defend my
(and other users') legitimate right to feel somewhat pissed about the trojan
thing. It wasn't stupidity or imagination.

Seems to me the next step is to try it on a Win8(64) platform.
