Open office
 

Dose anyone know where I can download open office from a safe site without having my search engine change to that blasted Snap.do full of malware rubbish and no other nasty stuff that I could do without.

I don't want all of the programs just Writer, Calc and Base.

If it was me I'd go via filehippo.com.

:up:

That's interesting I see there is another one called LibreOffice.:hmmm:

Mean time I've give open office ago.

open office.org ,its now apache open office ,they took over from oracle!

http://www.openoffice.org/

^^^I would advice to avoid that site^^^

A mate of mind got a ton of malware and that dodgy search engine snap.do!

Which site? FileHippo or OpenOffice? :hmmm:

Open office. :dead:

File hippo was alright as I used them yesterday and certainly did not get what my mate got. My search engine remand the same and no warnings went off at my end.

there is another good free MS Office clone at

www.kingsoftstore.co.uk/kingsoft-office-freeware.html

I believe the earlier version does the American order of date, the latter UK. If you want to buy the paid for version ( Professional) it is very reasonable, but I usually put the Kingsoft 2012 free version onto computers we are giving away, and no-one has come back and complained - so I guess it is OK. The equivalents of Excel, PowerPoint and Word are all able to be made compatible with Microsoft Office docs, and Writer looks so much like Word from MS Office 2003 that I could not tell the difference.

I open up some of my Word/Excel/Access docs on open office and no problem, granted they looked a little different but hey it worked just a matter of getting use to it.

Good to hear. :up:

I don't know what you are talking about with getting snap.do or whatever.

Openoffice.org provides a downloadlink to download it via Sourceforge. It provides the installer executable. No junk at all. Just checked.

Are you sure your browser, or that of your friend, is not already compromised by other malware intrusions?

Speaking on the phone he said it came from a open source and the link above looked like it, maybe it was a dummy site I don't know.
