Microsoft Security Essentials causes lag in Word 2007

When I am running Microsoft Security Essentials with realtime checking turned on,, I get a slight lag in performance in Word 2007. That is, when type fast and move blocks of text rapidly, the program stops working and shows me the hourglass wait icon
for a half second or a second. If I disable Microsoft Security Essentials the lag goes away. I have added the Word program winword.exe to the Microsoft Security Exxentials excluded processes and I added the directory of my documents to the excluded locations, but I still get the lag.I am running Windows 7, 64-bit version.
