Erroneous virus detected when opening files

[Guest]

I recently upgraded to Office 2003 from Office 1997 (yeah - way overdue).
When I open any of the 1997 files that were converted to 2003 I get an error
that the Virus Scan has detected a virus. I know these files do not have
viruses. Can anyone tell me the fix for this? Thanks

If you are using Symantec/Norton AntiVirus, try disabling the
Office Plugin that comes with it (but don't disable Norton
AutoProtect). See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=329820 "How
to use Office programs with the Norton AntiVirus Office plug-in"
for more information.
