Running Virus Scan

[Jeffbuck]

I have this annoying issue

- Word starts slowly and a "Running virus scan" message appears on the status bar -

well described by Microsoft:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/919047

 

BUT, Microsoft solution doesn't work.

 

Searching on the web I find that

"The virus scan message comes not from Word but from linked anti-virus software."

I noticed this problem shortly after having installed IMMUNET.

So, what can I do?

Put winword + *.doc in exclusion list?

 

Some help will be very appreciated!

- RESOLVED -

 

I unistalled both Immunet and all Office AddInns, cleaned the registry and directory BUT the problem remains.

 

In the END, it was a Microsoft problem.

 

Following this link:

and using Method 1.

Now it's all ok.

 

Immunet installed again.
