2007 cannot enable macros?

[John]

I have a file that I have saved as a .xlsm file in 2007 that has several
macros. When I open the file I get the following message.
"This file contains encrypted macros that have been disable because there is
no antivirus software instaled that can scan them. To run these macros,
remove the encryption or permission restrictions on the file."

How do I remove encryption? Why can I not run macros in a macro enabled
workbook? My excel settings enable macros...

Thanks for your help in advance

I'm sure the lawyers were involved in this design.

I my case, I do have current and active antivirus software running. But the
issue is the same as described.

The reg edit solution provided does solve this issue for computer still
using XP and Older versions of Antivirus ( Symantec 10.5 Client Security)
since upgrading the corporate Antivirus solution is not an option in the
short term.

Running the same Wookbook on a newer computer (Vista w/Vista compatible
Symantec Antivirus) this is not an issue.
