Requesting virus scan

Everytime I open an office document like Word or Excel, at the bottom left, it says "Requesting Virus Scan". Can I get rid of this virus scan.

Thanks
Germain

What anti-virus program are you running? I suspect you have it set to scan your incoming documents.

Try looking in Norton Antivirus Options/Miscellaneous for a plug-in section. If it's there, you can remove the check from the Office plug-in option to stop the automatic document scanning.
