Hi KG

In Norton you can disable the Office Scanning in the Options.

When I install add-ins (such as the XY Chart Labeler, Power Utility Pack),
Excel goes through a series of "requested virus scans" each time I
start-up
Excel. This is not usually a problem but it creates an uncomfortable pause
when Excel is launched from a hyperlink in PowerPoint.

Is there a way to turn off these unnecessary virus scans?
