Just saw this in an email from ZDNet News:
Stardust virus lands on OpenOffice
Researchers at Kaspersky Lab have spotted what they believe is the first virus for OpenOffice, the open-source rival to Microsoft’s Office productivity suite.
The virus, dubbed Stardust, is capable of infecting OpenOffice and StarOffice, which is sold by Sun Microsystems, a Kaspersky Lab researcher wrote on the Russian company’s Viruslist Web site on Tuesday.
“Stardust is a macro virus written for StarOffice, the first one I’ve seen,” the researcher wrote. “Macro viruses usually infect MS Office applications.”
I use OpenOffice.org and love it. It is a wonderful program. I can save and open MSWord documents, PDF files, Excel and Powerpoint documents. I think it is a good thing that someone wrote a virus for it. Kinda like when Mac had their first.
