Re: 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.

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.

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
