When I downloaded openoffice, I got a pop up screen saying your
program might be harmful to my computer, unless I know the publisher.
Frightened me off, I clicked Don't Use. What's the story??

That's a standard message that usually appears whenever you try to
open something you downloaded from the internet. The computer is
basically saying : "I don't know if I should trust this, so be sure
that you do". It's a valid message, saying that it is up to you to
decide what you trust on the internet. But OpenOffice.org has been
around for a while and has gained the respect of people all over the
world, so in this case you can certainly trust the site and the program.
