Problem With Xcel And Virus Scanning


Recommended Posts

I am having a problem with Excel 2000.

every time I try to open a spreadsheet, the taskbar on the bottom of the excel window says "requesting virus scan" and then I get a pop up windows that says 'Microsoft Excel has encountered a problem and needs to close' and wants to send an error report. Doesn't matter which button I click on--excel closes.

I use Excel a lot and this is very annoying. Anybody have any ideas on what is the problem?

Comp is AMD 64 x 2 running at 3 Ghz and 4 Gigs of RAM

OS is XP Pro (SP3 installed) and Excel 2000 (Office 2000 suite)

Thanks, experts!

Hey TT......you got me to thinking.

This all started since I had to re-do the license for AVAST again.

I dumped that program and went back to AVG and now all works fine.

Thanks for getting me thinking in the right direction.
