Can Anti-Virus software & XL live together in harmony?

This morning I found what has been slowing down my 800kb workbook on our
work pc. When I disable the anti-virus software the .xlt file opens in 3
seconds but with the protection on it takes a half a minute or more. It is
an older machine with WinMe and the software that causes my headache today
is Sheyenne AntiVirus for Windows95.
 
Marvin - double check the Sheyenne s/w that there isn't an
option to allow all .xlt file open without being checked.
Or that puts Excel on a "trusted" list.
 
Thanks Ozzie,

I will play with the settings of the anti-virus software first thing Monday
morning.
 
Hi Ozzie,

The only relevant setting that I can see here is "Exclude File Extensions".
I added .xlt and .xls but it still takes the same 20 or more seconds to open
for some reason. Only when I close the anti-virus completely my excel
workbook opens fast.
