Post by: patclash on February 24, 2014, 11:31:57 AM

Hi , when I go to : http://portableapps.com/apps/office/libreoffice_portable and download 4.2.1 file for Windows 123MB I go this (see attachement)

I scan the URL with Virustotal : nothing found :

I disable Avast for 10 mn, download the file "LibreOfficePortable_4.2.1_MultilingualNormal.paf.exe" and scan it with Avast : no virus found
