Karl,
I just checked and the first one is www.openoffice.org
which I believe
to be the official URL. What address do you get?

Well, *I* certainly had no idea that there were
Openoffice scams that
somehow get to have Google sponsored links.
This is a fact. Prove it to yourself by in Google put
open office
and then check out the first listing. It IS a sham.

i just googled open office
the first result was www.openoffice.org
kamal

Well, I get this;
http://openoffice.org-suite.com/2/index.asp?aff=101&camp=gg_oo_us&se=goo
gle

Looks right, but smells real bad. It is a sponsored link with a
disclaimer at the bottom of the site that says it is not associated with
the writers of the program. Google even puts "OpenOffice.org" in a
larger font so it looks legit. I am sorry, but I would call this a
scam. It doesn't have to be malware, just deceptive. I guess I am so
jaded I skip over this kind of dreck automatically, so I had to take
second a look.

For a change, I'd have to give this one to Karl.
