I just developed a problem of slow loading of Word/Excel and associated files. When I click on Word/Excel Zone Alarm asks me if I want to connect to the MS web site. This is new, it didn't happen before. I suspect it's looking automatically for an update without asking me. Then when I try to open a file there is a very slow load associated with the message in the lower left that a virus scan is taking place. I'm running XP Pro and Office XP and NAV 2003 on a ASUS P4P board with a P4 2.8HT and 1 Gig of RAM. The process of loading a file now takes about 20 seconds. Yesterday it was essentially instantaneous. I haven't deliberately changed any settings since then. What's slowing me down?
