Virus Scan

[zecarioca]

I just installed Office 2000 on my XP computer. I already
have Norton Anti-Virus installed.

Every time I open a Word document or the program itself,
there is a small delay in loading while the program
is "Requesting Virus Scan." Is there any way to disable
this. I tried going to tools-macro-security and setting
it to "low" but that did not help.

Probably a setting in Norton?

Disable the Office Plug-in in NAV as follows:

1. Open Norton AntiVirus (right-click on the Taskbar icon and choose this
option).

2. Click on the Options button at the top of the dialog.

3. In the Options dialog, click on Miscellaneous (menu on the left)

4. Clear the check box for "Enable Office Plug-in."

5. OK out and close NAV.

But what if there is no Norton AV installed (and never was)? As a
matter of fact, no anti-virus software is installed. Still, Word takes
an eternity to open a file and shows "requesting virus scan...
