I just tried avast 4.1.304 with Word 97 on Windows ME, and I don’t see anything wrong.
So, a few more questions:
- You are using the latest build of avast! (b. 304), right?
- Did you change some other settings of the Standard Shield (such as turning on the “Display of detailed info on performed action”?
- If you run a scan on your hard drives (or in particular, the drive with your system and office installation, macros, documents, etc.), no viruses are found, right?
- How do you disable avast so that the problem disappear? You remove ashServ.exe from the auto-start registry key?
- Does the “freeze” occur every time you try, or just sometimes?
- What other programs are running at the time you try (i.e. what programs/tools are automatically started when your Windows start)?
- If you start Windows, select “Stop on-access protection and exit” from the system tray avast icon, and then start Word, does it help?
