Valid site to download?
Hi Marketing, I'm not sure who to approach... When I do a search for openoffice, the 3rd search result is actually " www.openoffice.us.com". Being the 3rd search result means that many people would have downloaded from it. Is this a valid site to download? Or is this a scam to promote a malware-tainted copy of openoffice? Concerned, David Ong

Re: Valid site to download?
Thanks to those who replied. I have been downloading from www.openoffice.org for years. My concern is that there will be people who do not know. If www.openoffice.us.com is promoting a suspicious copy to download to unsuspecting public, that cannot be good for openoffice reputation in the long run. Is there something that can be done?

Being the 3rd search result means that many people would have downloaded from it. Is this a valid site to download? The only official site is http://www.openoffice.org (which, I hope, comes as the first result!). Or is this a scam to promote a malware-tainted copy of openoffice? We don't know. That site is not affiliated with the OpenOffice project and we cannot know what it offers. Always use the official site.

Re: Valid site to download?
Hi Andrea, Yes, its still the first result!! Thank goodness!!! One suggestion is to make the headling for the search result to include "Official page", instead of small print. An example would be VideoLAN. When I did a search for vlc, the words "Official page for VLC..." is clear. So people would be highly unlikely to go for the next few download sites. Thinking...

We did it, for example, for the Italian site http://www.openoffice.org/it/ but indeed not for the English one http://www.openoffice.org/ I hope someone can soon fix it, unless there are SEO (or other) concerns.
