Auto Virus Scan
Hi
Using Windows xp and Excel Xp2002 When I open up a worksheet in Excel I get a message come up along the bottom of the screen telling me that it has requested a virus scan. It then proceeds to do this which adds to the time it takes for a spreadsheet to open up. Since I have an online virus programme running and therefore by definition ( I assume) any worksheets that I am sent via email are checked for viruses when downloaded, why do I need to have this every time I open a worksheet up. Is there any way of turning this of as it does slow down the opening of worksheet. I have looked everywhere for the facility to enable me to turn it of but cannot find anything!! Regards |

Auto Virus Scan
Hi Oldbiscaya
I am running AVG antivirus but having looked at all the setups, there does not appear to be any setting which allows for the scanning of excel workbooks when they are opened.

Auto Virus Scan
Are you sure you "looked at all the setups"? Neither Microsoft
Office XP nor Microsoft Excel 2002 includes a built-in virus scanner. The "requesting virus scan" message is a function of your chosen third-party antivirus program. To disable the Office Plugin that comes with AVG, click on Start | Run, and in the Open box, type: regsvr32.exe /u avgoff2k.dll You may need to specify the full path to your avgoff2k.dll file (e.g., regsvr32.exe /u "c:\pathname\avgoff2k.dll") in the Open box. You might try actually reading the Help instructions that come with AVG. You might also try visiting AVG's website to see if they offer any other suggestions. chesjak wrote: Hi Oldbiscaya I am running AVG antivirus but having looked at all the setups, there does not appear to be any setting which allows for the scanning of excel workbooks when they are opened.
