WARNING - Office file
Validation
|
Who:
All users of Windows 2000 Prof.,
XP, Vista and Win
7 with Office 2003 (2007 and 2010 are un-tested)
What:
A Microsoft ‘High Priority’
Update (This means it will
process automatically)
Named: “Microsoft
Office File Validation Add-In”
(See more on what this is about
below)
Why:
...be concerned? Because…
This update is
responsible for an extra delay of 5 to 6
minutes when
accessing a network-based Excel file. The same file if on a local
hard disk’s desktop or in a ‘C:’ drive file folder will open in 3 to
5 seconds.
Apparently the validation procedure IS NOT working with network
shared files in the way that Microsoft expected…
How:
In the coming days we’ll help you remove the offending update if you
have it, and then block it to be sure it is not allowed to process
again, or for the first time. (To try this yourself see our guide
titled: "Microsoft
Updates-Blocking & Removing What, Why and How").
So this warning is
ONLY
aimed at protecting your frustration.
We had one client with some significant impact over two
days while we figured out what was going on and what was
the likely cause. Then we removed the update and
everything returned to normal. There IS NO threat of a
virus or spyware infection. It’s simply what Microsoft
intended as an improvement, which for many folks isn’t! |

Microsoft's intentions with this feature see Microsoft Engineering's

2010 File Validation"
