Good evening Rita ! I haven't by now any answer about the existence of virus in the official site of Oo.
Anyway, this matter will be good experience especially to you and to others so that to present good advice to the future users of Oo. concerning to finding a solution to your problem with the virus, I propose that you do the following stapes : 1- cut all files of Oo which include the virus from your computer. 2- Then past them in a USB. 3- Pass your antivirus to define the file of the virus. 4- Let the antivirus delete it. 5- If it will come back, delete it manually. 6- If it will come back again, delete all files of Oo. 7- Download another copy of Oo from another site. 8- When you cut all files of Oo from the disk, and so as to be sure that no copy of the virus exists on your disk, write the name of the virus file in the "START". If it is found, you will see it. In this case, click on it and cut it. Then, past it in the USB. If it is not found, that will be a good step to delete it totally. 9- It seems to me that your antivirus isn't so strong. To don't delete all files of Oo, I propose to you to change the antivirus. Rita... Have happy night! beautiful life! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2011/6/27 Rieta Grimm <rie...@yahoo.com> > Hi Mahir, > I did download it from the OpenOffice.org site and not from anywhere else > as I always download from the original site, and my virus scan will only > delete it and not disinfect it as the file mutates and keeps coming > back.
