Default Slow startup

But, if it doesn't compromise security to turn it off, why is it there in
the first place?


That's what we've been asking ever since NAV first incorporated the Office
Plug-in. Even Symantec doesn't know.

Suzanne,

I just did a Google on avgoff2k.dll. Immediately found a thread on the
issue, and one of the replies pointed
to a Grisoft FAQ that describes the trick Graham gave us. So, you're
right, it's directly related to Office.
Of course, that's what its name implies now that I thank trouble to read
it!

But, if it doesn't compromise security to turn it off, why is it there in
the first place?

Te solution works, that's for sure!

Ed

I don't know about AVG, but disabling the Norton AntiVirus Office Plugin
doesn't compromise security at all provided that Auto-Protect is left
enabled.
