Hi indior,

As lmarci stated, it's under Settings/Computer/Computer Scan unless you're using NIS v 21 (I'm not sure whether or not that would be NIS 2014) in which case that option no longer appears.

 

Edit to add: I just noticed there is a thread about this option over on the N360 board which provides some background on why the feature was removed and how you are still protected:

Hi indior:

 

roane is correct - I received a message from elsewhere confirming that the setting for Microsoft Office Automatic Scans has been removed from Norton v. 21.x (2014) products.  Your Computer Scan settings in NAV v. 21.1.0.18 should appear similar to elsewhere's screenshot here of NIS v. 21.0.0.89.

 

gena also posted a similar question here, and from what I understand Symantec felt there was no need to have a separate setting for Microsoft Office Automatic Scans in Norton v. 21.x (2014) products since the Antivirus Auto-Protect feature is designed to automatically scan for security risks when you open any document, including files created by MS Office applications.

 

Sorry if my screenshot from NIS v. 20.x (2013) in message # 2 created any confusion.

Hi indior:

 

Yes, it's my understanding that Microsoft Office documents will still be scanned for security risks such as malicious macros and infected embedded objects in NAV 21.x and other Norton 2014 products even though the setting for configuring Microsoft Office Automatic Scan in no longer available.

 

The information I provided in message # 2 does not apply for the latest Norton 2014 products, so if you'd like to unmark this post as your preferred solution you can click on the Options link in the top right corner of that post and select "Unmark as Accepted Solution" as long as you're logged into the forum.

roane hit the nail on the head and the link they provided gave all the info in regards to why the setting was removed and what Norton does in regards to scanning Microsoft Office docs.

 

I also took the liberty to move the solution to roane's post so that others may see the correct solution.
