Basically, all it says is that you should check for updated signature files
for the virus checker, which has probably integrated itself into Microsoft
Office. Were you able to disable any integration with Office from your
McAfee control panel? That's usually an optional component in your virus
checker / scanner. When using Norton, you can disable the Office plugin and
that often resolves the error.

I suspect that messing around with the Office / AV integration will resolve
it for you.

Strangely enough, uninstalling Norton Antivirus does not always
uninstall the Office Plugin that comes with Norton Antivirus. Search
your hard drive for a file named OFFICEAV.DLL (include hidden and system
files/folders in the search options). If you find it, note the folder
where the file is located, and use the "regsvr32 /u" method described
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=329820 "How to use Office programs
with the Norton AntiVirus Office plug-in" to unregister the .dll.
