Hi Steven,

Office contains no virus scanner...

1. Which version of Office are you using?

2. What message are you getting (exactly!) when you try to
open a file?

I'm having trouble opening files because my virus scanner(I
think it's in Office) seems to have found problems with
files so it's preventing me from opening files I just
created. I cannot open anything in Word and in Excel. I
can't seem to find a way to 'turn off' this virus scanner
or Macro protection something
