... and I dont want it to.
What I mean is, when I open MSWord, Excel etc, it takes a good 15 seconds, because it is scanning the document. I cant find a way, except for disabling AVG, to stop this. It is AVG 7.1. Perhaps I should get 7.5 first of all?
There is one subtle yet vital difference between opinion and fact; and the bigger man is he who can whole-heartedly admit this.

A recent AVG update can cause problems for users still using outdated versions of AVG (version 7.0 or 7.1), or if AVG Free was previously used on the same computer.

It appears I actually DO have AVG 7.5
I was away from my computer at the time of posting so my mistake.
Now how do I stop it from slowing Office down at launch?
