Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice website security

Hi :)
Thanks for the screen-shot.  I have passed it on to the Website Mailing List to ask them what needs 
to be done.  

Errr, from the screen-shot it looks as though your Windows side was not infected with anything.  
have you tried scanning with anti-virus from either the Debian or the WIndows side?  
Many thanks and regards from 
Tom :)
