The folks at Kaspersky have discovered a macro virus for StarOffice. The malware is named Virus.StarOffice.Stardust.a. This type of code is usually written for Microsoft Office. This is apparently the first one for StarOffice.
Stardust is the first virus I know of which is theoretically capable of infecting StarOffice and/ or OpenOffice. It’s written in Star Basic. It downloads an image file (with adult content) from the Internet and then opens this file in a new document.
Not a major problem but, interesting from a new branch perspective.
