Disable "requesting virus scan"

I had Norton and it's lapsed and I'm now using another program.
Norton used to scan all of Word files before opening.

I took Norton out of my start up process and don't even open it BUT when I
went to print some documents,it's now causing Word to be VERY slow - slow
opening, slow trying to find a file, etc. I'm talking maybe 20 minutes or so
to just open and then 10 minutes to find a file. SO, to speed things up, I
opened Norton when I was working in Word and everything goes along just fine
now.

My question: Is there anyway to disable the "requesting virus scan" when
trying to open a document? I wasn't sure if the setting were in Norton or in
Word.

THANK YOU.
