Why does Norton AV 2005 want to launch a .msi when I start Word?

[Barry.bat]

Every time I start Word - doesn't matter if I start using the Word logo or a
..doc or .rtf file, it comes up with several Norton AntiVirus 2005 popups
indicating that it is launching, then several error popups explaining that
this .msi must be launched thru setup.

Doesn't explain what msi is wanting to launch or be setup...

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling both Office 2003 and Norton
AntiVirus 2005, both to no avail.

I've even done a search and destroy mission thru the registry (using
regedt32 as I knew I'd need to change permissions - & I was
correct!)...<sigh>.

You might try asking this in the more specialized group office.setup, since you
haven't received any reply in this general group.
