Re: Normal.dot and Virus Warning

Yes, it's from Word, it says something like this:

"An AntiVirus Program on your computer has reported a virus in this
document. This could be caused by the virus software being out of date....."

Even if I create a brand new document, save it (and get prompted about
Normal.dot) as soon as I save the new doc, I can not open it!

Are you sure it's coming from Word? Word doesn't do virus checking.

Thanks..I'll try the advice on that link. I still wonder why Word reports
a virus, even if I temporarily disable the virus software, the warning
comes from Word (Office) it self!

This is a strange one.

Just installed Office 2003 on my new laptop. Old laptop was stolen :(

At first everything was fine but now if I open Word, or a document in
Word
two things happen:

1: Everytime I close Word, no matter what, it asks to replace
Normal.dot

2: Every document I open, or TRY to open, whether Word or any other
Office
app, I get a warning saying a virus program on my computer has detected
a
virus in that document and I am not allowed to open.
Effectively I can no longer access ANY of my Word (or any other types)
of
document.

I seriously need advice on this.

Thanks in advance
