Why does MS Word always request a virus scan?
If I just open the application, not a file, it takes so long for the program to start. At the bottom of the page it says "requesting virus scan..." I don't know if this is the reason for the slow startup or not, but it takes perhaps 2 minutes for MS word to load. Any help or thoughts appreciated. Thanks.

What is your choice of AV software? Norton/McAfee?

If you use AVG try this:
START/RUN regsvr32 /u avgoff2k.dll Click OK To restart Office XP to request virus scans on opening documents.. START/RUN regsvr32 avgoff2k.dll Click OK If you have problems with this do it from a command window in the directory where AVG was installed... usually c:\program files\grisoft\AVG7. (I stole it from here: http://computing.net/office/wwwboard/forum/4480.html) If you use Norton it appears they have an enable Office plug-in box in options you can uncheck to disable |
