Running Virus Scan
I was wondering if there was a way to stop the virus scan from running
everytime i open a xlsx file? Is this an Excel thing or is my virus protection doing this as i have not set it to do this. If it is possible in Excel I only want it to be off for the documents I choose. Thank you in advance Ken |

Running Virus Scan
It is your AV application that is requesting the scan.
Somewhere in its configuration should be a dialog where you can disable/enable scans for particular file types. Look for where you can set "exclusions" or similar.

Running Virus Scan
No it is not my A.V. that is requesting the scan I disabled the Anti-virus
software and I still have the Running virus scan everytime I open the excel file. I am developing a vb.net program that saves the values created in the app to an .xlsx file. What I want is to not have the virus scan run everytime I test it on that file. "Gord Dibben" wrote: It is your AV application that is requesting the scan.

Running Virus Scan
Excel does not have a virus scan facility. If you have a virus scan
running, it must be virus scanning software. Either you've not successfully disabled it, or you have another AV package of which you were not aware. You may be able to see from Windows Task Manager which program is running. If all else fails, uninstall your AV package (but stay disconnected from sources of infection while you do so). -- David Biddulph "Ken in Indiana" wrote in message ...

Running Virus Scan
Dan
I found the avgoff2k.dll and tried to unregister it and I recieved the following DllUnregisterServer in C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG7\avgoff2k.dll Failed Return Code was : 0x80070005 There was only one instance of avgoff2k.dll and there were no instances of officeav.dll Thank you for your response Ken "Stan Brown" wrote: Mon, 28 Jan 2008 17:58:09 -0800 from <?B?

Use Windows Explorer or My Computer to search your hard drive for the Officeav.dll and Avgoff2k.dll files. Be sure to include hidden and system files in the search options. If you find either (or both), unregister it (or them) by clicking on Start | Run, and in the Open box, enter: regsvr32 /u "c:\{path}\officeav.dll" regsvr32 /u "c:\{path}\avgoff2k.dll" source: http://www.techtalkz.com/microsoft-o...20-word-excel- powerpoint-requesting-virus-scan.html -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com/ "If there's one thing I know, it's men.

Running Virus Scan
Thank you for your response I did disable the anti-virus software although
the component Resident shield stays running (no way to turn that off without uninstalling) but i did and the scanning stopped. So now I decided to try to turn it off in the program and nope i am stuck with it so i guess when the subscription is up on my anti-virus I will look for one with better control over what is scanned and what is not.....
