For some PPTs (Microsoft PowerPoint) that you downloaded, you can’t basically open them. These generally are the PPT presentations created by earlier versions of Microsoft Powerpoints e.g. 97 to 2003.

Microsoft will pop up the first error dialog:

It asks you if to repair the PPT, but after you click OK to procceed repairing, it apparently can’t fix this problem. The error message is quite misleading by saying that it is due to anti-virus problem. However, you can open the PPT using the earlier versions of Microsoft Powerpoint.
