[Solved] Acronis anti-virus blocks OpenOffice

[GBJazz]

I was using open Office with OSX 10.12, Windows 10 and Parallels , since a long time i am using ACRONIS for safety puposes and backupstorage for my windows 10. Yesterday acronis stopped Open Office in my mac installation and moved it to the blacklist. The Operation was finished. I uninstalled open office .
This seems to be a critical issue.
I Have Activated ACRONIS since 2 Years, and yesterday OPEN Office was detected an closed permanent as ransomware.
Open Office has been moved to the ACTRONIS BLACKLIST . Its not possible to Open it again.

Edit: Changed subject, was OpenOffice is completely unusable  Make your post understandable by others  -- MrProgrammer, forum moderator

Isn't there any white list where you can add OpenOffice?
Else, try to see if LibreOffice is better accepted.

Thank You , Libre Office is working without problems.

OPEN Office was detected [and] closed permanent as ransomware.

Many villains copy OpenOffice and load it with malware, then put links to the malware on the web and wait for people to install it. Make sure you have installed the real Apache OpenOffice. Use the download link at the bottom right of this page. You can compare the "checksum" of the file you downloaded with the published checksum on the Apache website, however this should not be necessary if you're sure you've downloaded from Apache.
Q03: How do I install OpenOffice on a Mac?
Q18: How do I verify the checksum for an installation file on a Mac?

If you've installed real Apache OpenOffice, then Acronis is blocking something it should not. Thus you have a problem with your antivirus software, not an OpenOffice problem. Ask Acronis why it is preventing OpenOffice from running.
Q59: Can I exchange documents between OpenOffice and iWork, Apple's office suite?

If this solved your problem please go to your first post use the Edit button and add [Solved] to the start of the subject field. Select the green checkmark icon at the same time.

The Answer is : Acronis declared OPEN OFFICE as ransomware. I have carried out the download of open office in 2020 from the official Apache OpenOffice Homepage. But i can Ask ACRONIS about this issue. Thank You

Well, you should be doing this since it's your problem. However, I will check them for you.

The dmg files are from your dropbox account. I downloaded the sha256 checksum files today from Apache. The shasum command shows that the checksums of your files match what is expected. Thus the files you have downloaded are the official Apache files, and your anti-virus program is incorrectly categorizing them as malware. I think we can mark the topic as [Solved] since your anti-virus warning isn't an OpenOffice problem.

Thank you for your support, maybe ACRONIS can clear this issue. Wish you a nice Sunday - Regards Gerhard

It is an Acronis set up.problem. Just tell Acronis nor to block AOO.
