Norton 2006 scans MS Word file on open

[bazeel]

Hi to all.
My friend is frustrated by Norton scanning her docs when she opens them. I don't use Norton and would appreciate it if someone could tell me how to switch it off.
TIA.
Basil.

There is an Office-plugin that automatically scans all office documents whenever they are opened.
Click Start/Programs/Symantec or Norton/your AntiVirus program.
Click Options. Under Other, click Miscellaneous.
Under How to keep Microsoft Office documents protected, click to clear the Enable Office Plug-in check box, and then click OK.
Restart the computer.
