Cindy,
Thanks for the reply. I removed each file 1 by 1. I received the "Running
Virus Scan" at start up at each removal; i.e. with 4, then 3, then 2, etc.
With none, there was no "Runnibg Virus Scan" and WORD opens in a flash. I
added 1 back in and received the "Running Virus Scan". In fact, it does not
matter which of the 5 is added, any one of the 5 produce the "Running .....".
Any conclusions?
Thanks

Hi ?B?a3JhenlrYXQ=?=,
What is the connection between the "/a" switch and/ or having an empty
Global Templates window and removal of the "Running Virus Scan" message at
WORD start??
The /a switch prevents all Addins from loading. This includes global
templates, your Normal.dot and any COM Addins you may have installed.
I can achieve the same affect by removing the 5 global template files from
the Global Templates and addin window (Tools, Templates and ADD-IN, Global
templates and Add-in window). None of the 5 files in the Global templates
and Add-in window appear to be associated with any AV program, but they do
reside in Windows\startup and OFFICE11\START up sub folders.
Do you know what each of these global templates if for? Try removing them
all, the move them back in, one at a time. When the message comes back,
you'll know which one is responsible.
