Default Delay when opening WORD documents?

Hi:

I just did a clean install of W7, and now I'm getting a bit of a delay when
opening files from inside WORD. Is anyone noticing this? I wonder if my
Norton or maybe even Windows itself is scanning the files first - that's what
it feels like. Can someone help me to get rid of this delay?

Thanks!

Well, why don't you check your Norton and see?

Checking of Word/Office documents can usually be deselected in the AV
program e.g. in Norton AV by turning off its Office Plug-in.

When you are using a antivirus software like Norton then processing of the tasks becomes slow, because they carry a scanning system for every file you open at your system. That's why i dont use them, they are good as per security reasons but they just slow the processing.
