Use XP and IE6.0. When I open word 2003 it takes an inordinate amount of time
to load and open. I find that there is a virus scan that runs every time

I'm not the OP, but I'll piggyback with a more pointed question.(*)

I've noticed that "virus scan" when I open Word on no document (/n
option on Winword.exe) -- is Word actually calling on AVG to get it
to scan some files?

Which files? The scan takes just seven seconds, but even that seems a
lot for the _one_ file in my startup directory, which is only 43 KB.

(*)I have Grisoft AVG Free, Word 2003, Win XP Pro SP2.
System: 1.8 GHz, 1 GB RAM, few to zero other progs running

What you call a 'piggyback' is known as hijacking a thread, and is
considered rude in the newsgroup community. If you want to ask a new
question, start your own thread.

But before you do, consider if newsgroups about the Windows XP operating
system and Microsoft Word are appropriate places to ask a question about
Grisoft products.

You might actually read what I wrote: my question was about what
Microsoft Word is doing. And I did not "hijack" the thread; I asked a
closely related question to the original one.

Thanks for the warning of bogosity by posting upside down.
