[Solved] Mac won't open OpenOffice «Q05»

I have just had a hard drive replacement on my Mac, Cargonite took a week to replace my files, during the down time I used Pages for my word processor, when Carbonite finished I tried to download a new copy of Apache, but I got this message in a box saying
“OpenOffice” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified."MacOS cannot verity that this app is free from malware from--prod.downloadnow.com."
that message comes up and Mac will not recognize the web site the download is coming from, so it wants to send it to Trash, but I have already installed it on my app bar at the bottom of screen so it comes with a delete box, but then I get a :Openoffice" could not be moved to Trash: message..
anyone else had this problem?

thanks,

Solved.
Had to update mac-os to version 10.15. Downloaded openoffice and my operating system will not open it, claiming it cannot verify that the program is malware free. Help.
