[News] OpenOffice 'Virus' DEBUNKED by Experts

,----[ Quote ]
| Kaspersky Lab, a manufacturer of anti-virus software, claims to
| have discovered a macro virus for StarOffice and OpenOffice.org. The
| claim has received widespread media attention on the Internet as the
| first of its kind. However, according to experts, the alleged virus
| is nothing more than the use of a long-existing capability in the
| StarBasic macro language (also known as OOo Basic). Although the
| potential for malicious macros exists, they can be easily guarded
| against.
