Where I work is in the process of converting from MS Office to OOo. (It's going fairly well so far.) Not specifically related to work, but related to OOo, I received this note from a co-worker:

"I downloaded Open Office for my home pc (Windows XP). I recently uninstalled it because my firewall constantly caught it trying to communicate via the internet. I couldn't find any spyware through a variety of programs and wondered if you knew whether this is usual or unusual?"

In talking to her further, the firewall she has is Norton. The OOo version is 2.0. She said that when she did something quite simple, like changing the font on some text, the firewall would detect activity.

Does anyone have any insight into what could be causing this behavior?

Thanks,

Dick Detwiler, Webster, NY
