It varies with the anti virus software you installed, basically related to resident shield, uncheck scan program before open or take out the extension "doc" or "do*" from the list for scan before program run.\nTry at your own risk if you think file open faster is better than more protection.

try using safe-mode.\n\nmost worms/viruses doesn't work on safe-mode.\nto start windows in safe-mode press F8 before windows start loading.\n\nthen you can run anti-virus on safe-mode to remove the file or manually delete the infected file.

almost do have virus in it, but this is what you do, just download it first without running it, then use your antivirus to scan it before running it.

Try doing a "System Restore" in safe mode (f8 on restart). That turns off most of the programs that automatically run on startup. This where a lot of virus' hide. Make sure that you go back to a date far enough  to restore system prior to the suspected infection.

Go through your entire home folder and remove ALL the plists that have *anything* to do with word or office for that matter. Make sure you also remove the 'microsoft user data' or something along those lines in your home documents folder as well.Works every time I need to fix that when I'm at work. Let me know how it goes!
