Virus scan in Office 2000

I'm doing work for my wife's office. They have a server running 2003 server, and work stations running xp pro. The problem seems to be new. Their documents are stored on a shared folder on the server. Every time they open a document it requests a virus scan. In norton antivirus I've disabled teh scanning of .DOC files. I tried disabling norton just to see if that's the problem. It also does this scan on files that are on the local harddrive. I'm at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave

On both the server and workstations, it sounds like you have realtime protection on.

I would suggest setting up an extra workstation as a norton AV server. That seems to alieviate a lot of the processing time, especially if the file server is an old machine.
