Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice website security

There is one more thing - I have ignored the warning and downloaded the software. After that I run 
a full system scan and I got the same infection message. Unfortunately I set an automatically 
delete of the infected file...
I'm not writing  this because I enjoy buzzing you - as indicated by the avira antivirus the 
documentfoundation.org web site may have been infected.
Sincerely, 
Petre Borocan
