I have a couple of spread sheets from FPGA vendors for power calculation. They "protect" the spread sheet, I assume so that you don't mess with the calculations. I find that my anti-virus software can't open the document and reports an error every time it is scanned. I tried to disable the protection, but that option is not available on these files. Anyone know what is going on? Even if I need a password to unprotect the workbook, I can't find where to enter it.
I guess I can just delete it to get it off the PC and download it fresh each time I need to use it, or maybe put it on a CD. But I am tired of going through a list of dozens of errors on protected files each time I run my AVS and I am getting rid of them one way or the other.
