I put AVG free version on an XP VM, updated virus signatures, installed AOO 3.4.1 Windows en-US from the website and did a full scan. No issues reported. So if Maurice was indeed getting an AV hit, that suggests he might actually have something, either preexisting on his machine, or from downloading AOO from another website. If it were really a false positive, wouldn't we be seeing it as well? -Rob > Rory O'Farrell <ofarrwrk@iol.
