You have obviously downloaded from an unofficial source, hence the obtrusive popups which the sponsors of such unofficial sites often add. As you are using Incredimail I assume your operating system is Windows. Start TaskManager (Ctrl Shift Esc) and kill any soffice processes shown on TaskManager's Processes tab. Then try to uninstall OpenOffice. A legitimate copy should uninstall easily at that stage. If yours doesn't (as I suspect it won't), you need to run a virus scan with updated virus definitions, then a malware scan (MalwareBytes is well regarded). You may need to run the virus scan again just to be sure. For information, the only recommended source for OpenOffice download is www.openoffice.org/download which will redirect to SourceForge servers where the files are stored. -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
