real time scan blocks all Office files from Google Drive

[aribeth83]

For 2 months now, maybe more, I cannot access my Google Drive files which I need for my remote work. Any file that is a doc, excel etc. from Microsoft Office, real time just blocks me from opening them. So my "solution" was to disable the real-time and do my work! Every day for 2 months. There is no solution anywhere and me disabling my antivirus software is clearly unacceptable.

I have the same issue.  "Sorry for the inconvenience and we're working on it" has been the same response for the past 2 months!  I don't understand why this problem has not been corrected by now.  We are all having to work without security and this workaround is totally unacceptable.  We need protection.  I work for a nonprofit and there are 8 of us working this way.

@Marcia1 I am this close to deleting my Total Security and just go over to something else. This is frustrating
