I’m running Microsoft Office 2000, on Windows 7 O/S, under Avast V8 Free anti-virus program. After a few days it started reporting as FileRepMalware error whenever I tried to execute Microsoft Word 2000.
It attempts to delete the program (“probably” because that was my designation of what to do when virus is found, after repair and quarantine have both failed).
The only solution I could find was to add WINWORD.EXE to the Excluded files list for execution. No need to set Read or Write exclusion because the error is reported only on startup execution of the program.
Has anyone else seen this error?
