A given signature shows up as "dangerous", but can be manually over-ridden by the user so that future scans can either skip over that signature or can check it off against its "white" list. This could therefore be down to: (i) the anti-virus software you have doesn't "learn" - in which case, it is no good. You will need an AV that can adapt to its changed environment. (ii) the way that soffice is recorded in MS registery and good luck with that: the MS registry is an exercise in obfuscation. (iii) or install another AV system (remove the one you have first - they tend not to play very nicely together) and rescan and see if the same problem occurs. I think that there is some freebie AV which is pretty good (AVG perhaps?), but I'm sure others here who use 'em could recommend a viable alternative (other than Norton or McAfee). HTH.

I believe that I was the one who first said that crappy OS thing. However I didn't make any suggestions at all, if I recall correctly. I guess that was a good thing then. I certainly never mentioned ”Linux”, since not every non-microsoft OS is Linux, and why would I? The OP already had Linux, so I am sure he know what it is, or at least what it is in his case.

I rarely contribute to this list so you can hardly say that I'm turning anything in a GNU/Linux recruitment center.

(I will let you know, when this has solved the problem.) Other comments referring to "crappy ..." unfortunately have been much less helpful. Let us know if the problem persists ! As to comments on the quality of the AV and the OS, consider that *quandoque bonus dormitat Homerus* Henri First, if your Anti-virus/security system is telling you that soffice.bin could be a problem with your system, then run a scan on the system and see if there has been some "nasty stuff" infecting the OOo files. Heal them, it there are any. Then, if it still gives you the "problem error", I would check to see if you can tell your security system that soffice.bin is an "OK" program to use. Your system may be hypersensitive on what should, or not, be allowed to run. That can be good, though it can also be a hassle. Since soffice.bin is a backbone part of OOo, it needs to be allowed to run. This file/program has been a part of OOo as long as I remember. So if your security is now flagging it, when it did not in earlier versions, then there may be either some new features that is a part of soffice.bin that your system wants to flag so you can decide if you really want to allow it access to your system, or somehow you got a copy that somehow got infected by a "nasty" bit of coding. If you downloaded the original 3.2 version from the OOo official web site and virus scanned it as soon as you downloaded it, along with keeping your own system clean, you should not have to worry about the soffice.bin file at all. But it does not hurt to recheck it for "nasty surprises". What language[s] are you using as your default in OOo; Japanese? English? What versions of Windows and Linux are you using? If you want to try a different anti-virus system, then I would suggest AVG. http://free.avg.com/us-en/download?prd=afe It has many regional language options on the site, including Japan "region". So you have the choice of what language you will be most comfortable with. AVG is free, but they do have a paid version that includes a firewall and other options. I use the free version since late Win 98 days. I currently have it on Vista and evaluating it on a Ubuntu/Linux system. I find it works the best for my Windows system[s], with my security needs. I deal with a lot of people who do not keep their systems clean and then email me infected file attachments. But, AVG will not allow any of these infections to stay on my system[s]. You might want to give it a try. The "crappy OS comment" is a problem. Yes if you do not like the OS and you use one you really like, then the first OS is "crappy". While others may thing the one you use is the crappy one. Windows can be easier than Linux in many cases, while Linux is much more stable at times. I now use Ubuntu on all but one Vista laptop, since there are still software I must use and support in the Windows environment. I hate Vista, but needed it for the updated software I needed to use. Soon I will be upgrading it to Win 7. As long as I cannot get everything I need on Linux, then I must have one Windows system. There are too many devices that require their "special software" to run while using their USB and other plug-in hardware. Otherwise, I find that the free stuff that can be used on Ubuntu/Linux is as good and sometimes even better than the paid versions you can find for Windows. With open-source software l
Re: [users] "soffice.bin" = highly dangerous??
Buying something in a shop doesn't mean that the product is well functionning! TrendMicro release some cheap applications IIRC, so it may be based on not that good code. And I think this is the case too. You should check the web about that product, there should be some benchmarks. Note that there are performant free anti-virus too.
