why does my egg timer come up every 10 s

[silvester208]

when I have a document open for editing, my egg timer comes up every 10s. I
have turned off autosave but this has not cured it ...... Help!

Press Ctrl-Alt-Delete, select the Task Manager, and display the list of
processes. Watch to see what's running every ten seconds.

There is no 'autosave' in Word trhere is only an option to save autorecover
information - which operates in minutes not seconds. You might want to turn
that back on. The likely candidate is your AV software.

Checking of Word/Office documents can usually be deselected in the AV
program e.g. in Norton AV by turning off its Office Plug-in.

With some versions of the Norton product it may be necessary to unregister
the calling DLL by running the following command line from Windows > Start >
Run

regsvr32 /u "c:\program files\norton antivirus\officeav.dll"
or
regsvr32 /u "c:\program files\norton systemworks\norton
antivirus\officeav.dll"

Other AV apps eg the popular free ediition of Grisoft's AVG antivirus
software, require similar treatment.
In this instance:

regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG Free\avgoff2k.dll"
