excel won't open

[Joy]

I have installed Microsoft Office 2003. I can open a new doc and create a doc
then save to my documents, but when I try to reopen the document I get and
error mesage tha says "the file can not be opened because your virus scanner
has detected a problem" I have McAfee for my computer. I have worked with
them to day with an uninstall and cleanup and that still did not solve the
problem. I even unistalled office 2003 and did a new install.
does any one have any ideas.

I don't use McAfee, but can you turn off your antivirus software (even
temporarily to test).

Maybe someone will chime with instructions to change that setting in McAfee.

MacAfee unistalled. Ihad not virus program at all. I still could not open the
file. The same error message came up.

I've never seen that error message.

Maybe someone will jump in with the answer.
