I've been using the paid version of AVG since December without

The virus scan message comes not from Word but from linked anti-virus
software. 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"

Other AV apps eg the popular free ediition of Grisoft's AVG antivirus
software, require similar treatment.
In this instance:

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

Yes, it's from Word, it says something like this:

"An AntiVirus Program on your computer has reported a virus in this
document. This could be caused by the virus software being out of
date....."
Even if I create a brand new document, save it (and get prompted
about Normal.dot) as soon as I save the new doc, I can not open it!

Are you sure it's coming from Word? Word doesn't do virus checking.

Thanks..I'll try the advice on that link. I still wonder why Word
reports a virus, even if I temporarily disable the virus software,
the warning comes from Word (Office) it self!

This is a strange one.

Just installed Office 2003 on my new laptop. Old laptop was
stolen At first everything was fine but now if I open Word,
or a document in Word
two things happen:

1: Everytime I close Word, no matter what, it asks to replace
Normal.dot

2: Every document I open, or TRY to open, whether Word or any
other Office
app, I get a warning saying a virus program on my computer has
detected a
virus in that document and I am not allowed to open.
Effectively I can no longer access ANY of my Word (or any other
types) of
document.

I seriously need advice on this.

Thanks in advance
