I think you need to be careful where you get it from, some lmight offer it with a few nasties attached but Open Office itself should be safe.

Open Office in and by itself is not a trojan or malicious. However, this AVG thing is, they try to sell this crap to you. It's difficult to get rid of it.

Google 'how to remove AVG" and read a few instructions. Here is one link

http://www.wikihow.com/Remove-AVG-Secure-Search

Then download the free trial version of Malwarebytes

https://www.malwarebytes.org/

and run a FULL SCAN (Important)

This may take up to 2 hours, depending on how much stuff is on your machine. After the scan finishes, just follow the instructions and "remove all files"

Scroll through the detected list and look for AVG, you will surprised what you find even after you did the first regular removal.

After that, open office is ok to use

Hi GemAngel777 I have been running open office now for at least 2 years on 3 different windows 7 pc's. I have Symantec Internet Security and Malwarebytes pro. I have never come across any issues. You may have a false positive I get them sometimes. Download it from Apache website https://www.openoffice.org/ you want version 4.1.1 I did this reply in open office. Hope this will help. Micro$oft office way over priced when you see what this office suite can do for free.
