The webpage office.org , not openoffice.org, serves up a suspiciously small executable, compared to the real windows OpenOffice 4.1.9 Installer. The Imprint mentions Aller Media e. K., a german company known to produce adware or viruses. (they make vlc.de,which uBO already blocks, and some kind-of ad-ridden search plugin)

I'd also actually like to know what me posting this URL here does. A button to the "homepage" of the easylist germany subscription from uBlockOrigin got me here. Will this list, or another one uBlock uses (also by default?) block office.org if deemed harmful, such that non tech-savvy people who do not fiddle around in the settings of their blocker do not fall prey to this scheme targeted, basically, at them?
Edit: The purpose of this list seems to be to block ads.
anyways:
