How can I open files without doing a virus scan first?

[Mim]

Doing the virus scan every time I open files that I use repeatedly just slows
things down. I have antivirus software running in the background.

The virus scan is not a function of the files being opened, rather it is a
function of the antivirus software. Perhaps you should post your query in a
forum for that software. HTH Otto

Use Windows Explorer or My Computer to search your hard drive for the
Officeav.dll and Avgoff2k.dll files. Be sure to include hidden and
system files in the search options. If you find either (or both),
unregister it (or them) by clicking on Start | Run, and in the Open
box, enter:

regsvr32 /u "c:\{path}\officeav.dll"
regsvr32 /u "c:\{path}\avgoff2k.dll"
