I did the original post. I am running Windows. With this download I am following the same procedure I used when I installed 3.6.0. I click on the "Main installer" at the LO website, select "run" from the Windows popup and wait. The program is downloaded after which time Norton does a "security scan." WIth 3.6.0 the security scan was done and the program then completed the installation without incident. With 3.6.1 at the completion of the security scan Norton announces that the download is a possible virus and then deletes it. Jeff
Hi :) It is always possible that different locations end-up with a non-standard version of LO. Part of the ethos of OpenSource is that people can make changes. If they don't send their change in to the main development process here then they miss the chance to push their changes through a decenlkick on t QA and the beta-testing that happens on millions of real-world machines around the world. However, corporate organisations might want to do things like getting their logo and branding in their on the versions their staff uses. Magazines might want to bundle LO in different ways or whatnot. So even though you might end up with a non-standard version the changes might well be trivial and even beneficial. However none of that is the problem that was alluded to. Most sources of non-standard downloads will give their own md5sum and/or Sha to deal with the main problem. The issue alluded to is that accidents might happen during download or copying and Cds/Dvds might end-up with scratches or smudges while still appearing to work.

Otherwise, you should not have Norton running when you install the upgrade; you should not be physically connected to the Internet either. Disconnect from Internet, turn off anti-virus program, install LO update, turn on anti-virus program. ONLY WHEN AV IS RUNNING should you reconnect to the Internet. --DanAnd you do the above steps only if you are very sure that you downloaded and verified the download from libreoffice.org/download . You find the md5 hash to verifiy your download when you click the "Info" link besides the "Torrent" link on libreoffice.org/download.Are you saying projects like the NA-DVD might have a "modified" version of LO hiding something that should not be there? Yes, going to the main download site should be the default, but having local/regional projects where you can get LO is important. I think if you state that the only place for users to get LO is from the download site, then there might be some problems with distribution CDs/DVDs that are also listed on the download pages. If you hand out these media to people, but they are told that the only place that it is safe to get the packages is from the official download web site, then there might not be any trust in the localized projects. Hopefully this is not what you are saying. Since I do not know how to create a md5-hash for my installation files on the NA-DVD project web page and physical media, I cannot offer that. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+help@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted-- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+help@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
