Unwanted Virus Scan
I use MS Office 2003; Win XP; AVG ed 7.5.488
Every time I open an Excel file (with VBA macros) a virus scan is carried out. How can I stop this. Unlike Norton, AVG appears to have no scan disabling option. -- donwb |

The enable / disable virus scan is an option in the Norton software.

Unwanted Virus Scan
Hi Don
Thanks for the reply. I'm using the AVG Free Edition. I do have scan all files de-selected but consequently the mutually exclusive (toggle)option of scan infectable files is selected. The file extensions checked include xl* files and it seems that in the free version these cannot be changed (deselected). On reflection, if a solution cannot be achieved by changing AVG's configuration, then is it possible to stop Excel generating the call on AVG?

Unwanted Virus Scan
Hi Don
I think that is one of the disabled features in the Free edition. They have to cripple some things, otherwise they would get no sales of version 7.5 ($52.95) -- Regards Roger Govier "donbowyer" wrote in message ... Hi Don Thanks for the reply.

Unwanted Virus Scan
Many thanks for your inputs.
Indeed the options to prevent this problem are not available in AVG Free edition. However after a lot of searching, I found the following which solve the problem. Importantly they do not effect other virus scans, eg e-mail, only Office startups. It may be of help to others. To stop virus scanning type the following into Start/Run:- regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG Free\avgoff2k.dll" To start virus scanning type the following into Start/Run:- regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG Free\avgoff2k.dll" The above path to the avgoff2k.dll is mine; yours may be different. -- donwb "Roger Govier" wrote: Hi Don I think that is one of the disabled features in the Free edition.

This solution works just fine. Much faster startup in Office programs now.
Thanks! to MS: There should be a way to do this from inside the Office programs and/or a mention of this in the Office Help files. "donbowyer" wrote: Many thanks for your inputs.

The problem is the OTHER program interfering. How is the Office help
files to be corrected for every program that makes a mess in Office going to be maintained? dn_in_canada wrote: This solution works just fine. Much faster startup in Office programs now.
