Thank you SOOOO much. I've spent so long trying to get Word to open
properly, ran so many virus scans, and finally this is the solution!

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"

Word 2003 takes forever to open, and then when opening a document, a
virus scan is run that takes 5 minutes or so. How do I fix this
problem, or at least disable the scan and make Word open faster. I
also have Excel and PowerPoint, and but they both open relatively
fast compared to Word.
