Winword Runs Virus Scan When Starting - How To Turn It Off?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Each time I start Word 2007, I see the notification at the bottom left that
it's running a virus scan of some sort. I know this is related to Norton
AntiVirus 2007 (at least I think it is). I know how to unselect the option
in Norton, telling Norton not to protect Word files by running a virus scan.
But even though I unselect it, as soon as I run Word again, the virus scan
still occurs and the Norton box then has a check mark in it (the box
indicating that it should scan in Word).

Is there any way to stop this from happening, other than uninstalling
Norton?

Thanks for the help!

Jason
