When Estimate Works™ launches, Word 2000/2002/XP/2003/2007 performs a macro virus scan  in Microsoft Word. It will be indicated on the status bar at the bottom when the virus scan is running.

The Estimate Works™ toolbar will not load until the macro virus scan has been completed. 

When you first run Estimate Works™ you may be presented with a similar "Security Warning" window. This will enable DevWave Software Inc. to be added as a trusted source so that you can continue to run Estimate Works™ with your security settings on 'high'. To view our certificate, click on the 'Details' button on the window.  

To add DevWave Software Inc. as a trusted source, check the 'Always trust macros from this source.' check box and click on the 'Enable Macros'  button.
