"requesting virus scan..."

[zalla001]

I read a post about getting this message in Word. The fix was related to
people who use Norton Antivirus. I use Symantec Antivirus and receive the
same message. Is there any way that I can fix this? I have not found any way
to get it to stop drastically slowing down my pc.

Symantec/Norton are the same application.

I always seem to figure something out a minute after I've said something
foolish...I should have known norton and symantec were the same. Where do I
turn the "Office plugin" off for this? I've looked all over norton and cant
find anything about it....

1. Open Norton AntiVirus (right-click on the Systray icon and choose this
option).

2. Click on the Options button at the top of the dialog.

3. In the Options dialog, click on Miscellaneous (menu on the left)

4. Clear the check box for "Enable Office Plug-in."
