Every document I open in Word, is not running
a "requesting virus scan." Before today, this has not
been happening. How can I stop this? It's taking twice
as long to open a document.

Thank you

what virus scanner?

Most virus programs allow you to configure this manually.

1. so... turn it off via the vs software

or

2. uninstall your virus scanner.

(I don't recommend either) What's a little time to potentially save your
machine?????

1. First, disconnect from your network, or internet for those with
broadband, otherwise this process will be very slow.
2. Go to your Norton Antivirus, and disable the automatic LiveUpdate.
3. Go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared.
4. Rename the file called CommonClient.dat to something else like
CommonClient.dat.bad.
5. Rename the file called CommonClient_old.dat to CommonClient.dat.
6. Reconnect your network.
7. Until theres a new fix for this, use LiveUpdate.
8. Put these in your hosts file [C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc] with
notepad:
127.0.0.1 sitefinder-idn.verisign.com
127.0.0.1 crl.verisign.com1 crl.verisign.com
