Hi - When ever I try to save an excel file, I get a message saying the file can't be saved because of a sharing violation.  I've traced to the problem to AVG because when I disable AVG I can save the file normally. It's a paid version of AVG internet Security.  Is there a solution for this, or should I simply delete it and move on?
