Solve : Norton scanning Word files....stop it??

Answer»

Just installed Nortaon AV Scan 2004...
How can I turn off the scan on my Word files? Every time I go to open a file, I have to wait for it to scan first.
What a pain? Is this necessary???

Thanks.wonderer.....I'm not so sure thats a great idea.....but if you must ...open Norton and CLICK on options...then click miscellaneous.....and REMOVE the tick from ....enable office plugin.
I think that will do it .

dl65 Thanks for your reply.
So, you don't think we should take it off?

What is the risk on Word files? I don't use it much...just copy and paste text from the INTERNET onto Wordpad first and then Word. (to clean up format, etc.)It may scan for harmful macros. Macros should be disabeled from within Word, but ADDITIONAL security doesn't HURT.
