I'm not sure what sort of notices you might be receiving. Could this
be fake and a malicious attack?

If you only *think*, it may be difficult for anyone to help.
... clicked update - spellcheck not working ...
Are you sure? Some of those misspelled words may be correctly spelled
different words.
... (again shows correct setting on bottom of screen (English (UK))
That's not a global setting; it merely shows you the active language
at the insertion point. It tells you nothing about the language set
for your misspelled words. To see the language there, you need to
select the word or region of text before examining the indication in
the Status Bar. Alternatively, if all your text is the same language,
you could select it all and then set the language.
o Have you restarted OpenOffice since the "update"? Have you
restarted your system?
o Right-click in the text and go to Character... | Font | Language.
Is "English (UK)" preceded by the icon of a blue tick with the text
"ABC"? If not, you do not have a dictionary correctly installed.
o If you have the English (UK) version of OpenOffice, you shouldn't
need an additional extension, as the dictionary you need is bundled
with the program.
o You can go to Tools | Extension Manager... and see what is
installed. You can remove or disable items selectively there.
o You can go to the web site and discover what versions are
available. You may be able to confirm what "update" you installed.
You could download the correct extension and install this in place of
whatever is causing you trouble.
I trust this helps.
