Default turn of "requesting virus scan" in word

I too now use AVG, but it isn't going to resolve this problem, and has its
own link with Word that produces the same message. It is first necessary to
unregister and remove the dll that is causing the problem.

Checking of Word/Office documents can usually be deselected in the AV
program e.g. in Norton AV by turning off its Office Plug-in.

With some versions of the Norton product it may be necessary to unregister
the calling DLL by running the following command line from Windows Start
Run

regsvr32 /u "c:\program files\norton antivirus\officeav.dll"
or
regsvr32 /u "c:\program files\norton systemworks\norton
antivirus\officeav.dll"

Grisoft's AVG antivirus software if installed, will require similar
treatment. In this instance:

regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG Free\avgoff2k.dll"

Stop paying the extortion money to Norton. Download the free AVG
Antivirus program to your desktop from http://free.grisoft.com Uninstall
NAV 2006 and then install AVG. You will be forever

I am using XP Home, Word 2002. On openeiong, Word it takes extended
time "requesting virus scan". I have followed all the links on
advice boards about
turning off office pugins in Nortons AV 2006. I have done this but
it has no
effect. I have just installed NAV 2006 and it still does it. It was
doing it
before with NAV 2004 version and continues to do it with the new
2006 version. By the way I have tried this many times but still
with no luck Please any help. - Totally frustrated
