Default Word 2007 (and Excel 2007) open slowly

Ah, I think we're getting somewhere. When I disable the virus-scanner, the
problem goes away. So there appears to be some conflict between Symantec
Anti-virus 10.0 and some of the office programs.

The strange thing is that Symantec is getting hung up on the files only when
I open them outside of Word. I wonder why.

More importantly, I wonder how to make it stop other than disabling the
antivirus entirely. Any ideas?
