My office has about 30 machines with office 2000 installed and Norton 2003 anti-virus. As of this morning 75% of these computers are painfully slow to open as they request a virus scan from Norton. Have others noticed this problem today or is my world unique to this situation?
 
You can disable the scan in Office if you want.
I disable it also.

Look in the Options of NAV

You are not the only one(I read two more)
Maybe it is the new update(from today) that is giving problems
 
That what I think is happening. We all have XP and office 2000 and both word and excel are effected. Also Norton is extreamly slow to open when clicked.
 
I am having the exact same problem in my office. Did you
find a fix? It seems odd it started the same day msn
launched their new home page.

Just got through to Norton, as I thought they are now aware of this problem (they where not on my first call this morning). The situation can be temporarily rectified by opening up your browser. Going to tools/options/advanced then scroll down to security and uncheck the following 2 box's if they are checked
Check for publisher's certificate revocatio
Check for server certificate revocation

Re-boot your computer and life is good (but less secure then before)

This was caused by an update in Norto
