I came across SafeToOpen extension on this forum and decided to give it a go. After trying it out suggesting a few tweaks to the product, I ended up buying the premium subscription, it’s been really helpful for staying safe online and reliably spotting sketchy sites.

The download button at fluentcleaner.org leads to this webpage, which has been made to look like a real GitHub page.
https://nooraljorany.com/package.html?n=fluent-cleaner

The download link on that page, downloads a zip file, which despite the filename, does not contain FluentCleaner. It scanned its exe and dll files, with my VirusTotal scanner website and it appears that one of the files is malicious.

My VirusTotal scanner will be live soon. I'm currently beta testing it.

Non mi piace LibreOffice. Proprio per niente. Innanzitutto, ha un'interfaccia utente pessima. Capisco che ad alcuni piaccia l'aspetto classico, ma io non sono tra questi. In secondo luogo, nel 2026, non è ancora ottimizzato correttamente per schermi ad alta risoluzione (sul mio schermo 2560x1600 ha un aspetto orribile). E in terzo luogo, il punto più importante, a 16 anni dalla sua fondazione, non sono ancora riusciti a garantire la compatibilità con i formati di Office.

Non ho molti documenti sul mio PC, forse qualcuno, e ogni tanto ne apro e modifico uno. Nessuno di quelli che ho aperto con LibreOffice è stato aperto correttamente. E non sto parlando di documenti complessi, ma di semplici tabelle, con caratteri base già installati nel sistema. LibreOffice non è riuscito ad aprirne nemmeno uno correttamente. Ogni documento contenente una tabella presentava le proporzioni sproporzionate e un carattere strano.

Cosa è successo? Ho disinstallato immediatamente LibreOffice e installato ONLYOFFICE. Sono rimasto scioccato nel vedere che gli stessi documenti si aprivano esattamente come erano stati creati in Office, usando gli stessi caratteri, tutto. Lo adoro.

L'unica cosa che non mi convince sono i legami con la Russia, ma l'intero progetto è open source, quindi per ora glielo perdono. Almeno finché Euro-Office non sarà disponibile per il download, dopodiché passerò a quello.

Ho provato OnlyOffice e mi piace più di LibreOffice. In effetti, in termini di compatibilità, OnlyOffice è migliore e mi dà l'impressione di essere più professionale.
