2000 word, switched to 2003 , documents won't open? (said virus?)

i used word 2000 for a couple of years and recently switched comps and the
new computer had 2003, but when i moved my files it couldn't be opened in the
new 2003 word and gives me a response that stats: "You may be encoutering
this message because an anti-virus program is not allowing the file to open.
This can be caused by one of two conditions. Either the anti-virus program
needs to be updated (due to a compability problem with this application) or
there is a virus in the file but the anti-virus program cannot properly
remove or process the virus it has found."
i update my anti-virus almsot liek everyweek and tried troubleshooting it,
but nothgin has worked.

If your AV is Norton AntiVirus, disable its Office Plug-in.
