hi...anyone to help me?

when i open word it has so much slowed down
displaying 'requesting virus scan' at the bottom of the
page. How can I turn this feature off? I have AVG anti
virus software but cannot detect any pluging to turn off.

Any ideas?

I had the latest Norton Internet Security and my computer slowed down to a
crawl! I finally took it off and I am relying on my ISP to remove viruses
before I get them. Perhaps you are having the same problem. I am probably
asking for trouble.

McAfee does the same thing to me. I've had to disable most of it to get the
computer to run.

AVG, NAV and McAfee all have options to turn off the email scanning or
opening documents. However, my ISP scans emails but McAfee has still blocked
a couple of attachments - so don't reply on your ISP.

If you get the latest version of McAfee, it should resolve any issue with
slowing down emails or slowing opening documents.
