Scan MS Word XP files

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

Hi guys :slight_smile:
Can you tell me how to get microsoft office xp to scan word documents at start ?
Ive seen that the resident scanner scans files which are
used to start MS word xp like some dlls
But it does not scan a document
Earlier i had norton which would scan the document file for word xp
Word would show a msg at the bottom “requesting virus scan”
But now i dont see that msg bfore opening a word document.
Am i unsafe with word docments?
Sorry for comparing Avast with Norton.Both are nice products.
Take care (of my system… ;D)
ash. :wink:

P.S. the emoticons dont insert where i place the cursor, and i have to copy them to the line i want …please check that.

The DOC files are scanned on open. What makes you think they arent?

Thats why Vlk.

Word should say that ???
I guess it may be the case if the antivirus were a Word-plugin, addon or something like that.

avast! resident protection monitors the disk access directly - and whenever an application accesses an OLE document (no matter if it’s Word, Excel, or if you view the file file using FAR, TotalCommander, or any other utility) - it’s scanned (and if found infected, the access is denied).
So, Word doesn’t know that the file is scanned; it’s fully transparent for it. It would only find out if the document were infected; in this case, you’d probably get the error message “Cannot open document; access is denied” or something like that - avast! wouldn’t let Word open it.

Thanks vlk,igor
if you say it scans the documents then i havent got any complaints.

I have also noticed several times that the smileys are inserted at the end of the message instead of at the cursor position, but I don’t know if it’s possible to fix - we didn’t program the board code.
Maybe kubecj would have some details? :slight_smile:

Re: Emoticons - too few details. OS/Browser/jscrip settings/proxy/web filter/etc. used details are needed. For me, with fully patched M$IE 6 using WebWasher it works okay. With Mozilla 1.5 with some disabled features it works okay.

For :o me :stuck_out_tongue: they :-* have ::slight_smile: always :-[ worked ;D fine 8)

Right now, I’m trying with Win98/Opera 7.23/JS enabled/no proxy/old AtGuard firewall and it doesn’t work. At work, I have Win2000 SP3/IE 6 with the latest cumulative update/JS enabled/proxy/outpost and it doesn’t work either.

When I type something, then click back into the message I already wrote and press the smiley icon, the characters are appended at the end of the text, not at the current cursor position.

Sorry :cry: Igor :-, but ;D, like Vlk ;), everything 8) works :o fine :stuck_out_tongue: at IE 6.0 SP1 :slight_smile: and XP PRO SP1 :smiley:

im also using opera 7.23 jre 1.4 enabled but on win xp pro with zonealarm pro. :slight_smile:

OK, I was probably wrong about IE… it would be just an Opera problem (no surprise, if it uses JavaScript; Opera doesn’t really support JavaScript, unfortunatelly).

13

I use Netscape 7.1 and I have the same problem as Igor or ash.

14

Very sad Igor…
The smiles does not work (at last, not all the time) with MyIE2, for example, right now…

Does anybody know the solution?

15

Could you solve your trouble?
Is it related to JavaScript or Windows Script?
Any solution for MyIE2 browser?

16

For any reason I could add emoticons at IE and ‘simultaneously’ could not at MyIE2 browser. So, I turned on two options that were deactivated into IE settings (Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Microsoft VM > check the three options for Java).

Now, everything seems to be fine :wink:
