Don't freak, the OpenOffice "virus" is just proof-of-concept, hasn't been
seen in the wild... ;)

Oh what a sweet, sweet day it must be for Microsoft. The first worm
specifically targeting the open-source office package OpenOffice has
emerged.

It runs on Windows, Mac and Linux computers, but anti-malware vendor Sophos
admits it poses a low threat, especially as it's only a proof-of-concept
that hasn't actually been discovered 'in the wild'.[. . .]
