Hello everyone, recently AVG antivirus free version, after an update, identified the file soffice.bin on my PC and suggested that it might be causing a problem. So I allowed AVG to disable its use. Unfortunately, now when I try to open any of my Libreoffice files, I am told that they are locked ("the file cannot be modified because it was locked by an unknown user"), and I have to work in a copy. What can I do to open files normally? Please, can you help me to solve this problem. I apologize for my bad English, I am writing from Italy.
