That sounds a bit awkward, i have never needed to 'log in' to 
LibreOffice. Maybe you mean to open a protected file and it is asking 
you for a password?
Anyhow, can you open LibreOffice without opening an existing document? 
For example by clicking the icon on the desktop or hitting the windows 
key and then start typing 'libre' until the suggestions pop up and you 
click on one of those? (since you were writing about a virus, i assume 
you use Windows)
And once you have a blank LibreOffice Writer/Calc/whatever in front of 
you, can you open a document from there?
And if LibreOffice was really gone, i would ask the folks who repaired 
the computer if they know anything about its disappearance. Maybe they 
can help?
Hope this helps,
 Sebastian
