OpenOffice.org 2.3 has backdoor/win32.agent.ew Troyan ?

[yyjia]

I downloaded and installed OOo_2.3.1_Win32Intel_install_en-US.exe from OPenOffice official web site just now. But, one virus scanner software reports that file C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.3\programfile\680mi.dll is a backdoor/win32.agent.ew Troyan!

I do not believe it. But, can I get some info from OpenOffice? What is the function of 680mi.dll in OpenOffice 2.3.1?

Thanks!

Are you sure of the dll name? No such file in the OOo installation folders on a XP system (and no hit from a Google search). If you want to check the integrity of the installer, check the MD5sum: http://download.openoffice.org/2.3.1/md5sums.html, there is a link to the instructions on top of that page.

Thanks to add '[Solved]' in your first post title (edit button) if your issue has been fixed.

Please read the Survival Guide for the forum esp. this post: http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/ ... t=166#p718

Your duplicate posts have been removed.

Which virus scanning software reports the trojan? Occasionally a virus scanning program will misidentify a program as having a virus, this is known as a false positive. (Also see: http://www.8daysaweek.co.uk/forums/view ... tive#p4056)

However, you should also check the md5sum of the file you downloaded and used to install, to ensure that it matches that published on the OOo website: http://download.openoffice.org/2.3.1/md5sums.html If you're not sure how to do this see this link or do a search for "check md5sum".

OP said he had already installed:

I downloaded and installed

But the path/file is not:

C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.3\programfile\680mi.dll

actually C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.3\program\file680mi.dll I have this in my XP install.

BFN,

Sorry. I post wrong file name. The file name is fwi680mi.dll .

The anti virus software i used is dowloaded from this URL (Chinese version) http://www.360.cn/

Anyone knows what is the function of fwi680mi.dll ?

By "installation folder", I meant the folder where OOo is installed (i.e. \Program Files\...)!
