  • LibreOffice

    Read-only LibreOffice core repo - no pull request (use gerrit instead https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/) - don't download zip, use https://dev-www.libreoffice.org/bundles/ instead (by LibreOffice)

  • I'm also seeing ClamXAV 3.4 (the latest version) and its latest virus definitions report the same Win.Virus.Triusor-9950253-0 infection in my copy of the latest version of LibreOffice (7.3.3.2), on my Late 2013 Macbook running macOS 11.6.6. ClamXAV also reported finding this virus in a slightly older version of LibreOffice (7.3.2.2, from March 23 2022) that I had archived on my Macbook. I downloaded both versions directly from www.libreoffice.org. I don't know if this is a false positive, and I know it's not going to infect my Macbook's macOS anyway, but it would make me feel more comfortable if it weren't there--if it's an actual virus, and it infects documents I create with LibreOffice, and then I send that document to someone who uses Windows, I don't want to take the chance that it could infect their copy of Windows.
