Word has no virus checking function. This message is coming from your
antivirus software - for Norton AV turn off its Office Plug-in.

Thank you for your response. I checked my Norton System Works 2003, Norton
AV, and the Office Plug-in was not enabled.

Word has a Macro Security option, which I have set to Low (there is no
disable choice) From what I can find this, Word feature is there for people
without virus protection.

You may TOTALLY disable Word/Office macros by renaming a file "wscript.exe"
to another name.
URGENT; (Make yourself a note of what you have renamed the file to.)
In /Windows/ System 32
folder of XP.
