'A program is trying to accesss your Outlook contacts' message

[Jonathan Finney]

I keep getting the following error message when I click on 'Send/Receive':

A program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in
Outlook. Do you want to allow this? If this is unexpected, it may be a
virus and you should choose "No".

I have posted this question before, but I am no closer to finding out why
this is happening. Here is the original posting and reponse:

Hi Diane.

It's not MailWasher. New version installed and I still get the message - It
only happens when I click 'Send' in Outlook, so surely it's something to do
with Outlook itself rather than an add-in?

Are you using Outlook 2002 SP3?

Outlook 2002 SP3 adds additional properties to the list of those that are
affected by the security features. As a result, one of your add-ins needs
updated to the latest version - antispam add-ins are a common cause
although others are affected by the changes as well. Many add-ins were
updated following the release of Outlook 2003 and should work with SP3, if
not you'll need to contact the vendor for a newer version.

http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2002sp3.htm#problems has a list of
applications known to trigger the warning.

To learn how to program around the new properties (which is needed for the
macros to work with OL2003 too) see http://www.outlookcode.com/d/sec.htm

When I 'Send' messages in Outlook, I often get the following message
dialog:

A program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in Outlook.
Do you want to allow this? If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and
you
should choose "No".

My Norton Anti Virus signatures are automatically updated regularly and
running a full system scan has reported no virus found.

The message has only started appearing regularly within the last week, but
it always happens when I'm in a message and click on Send and it looks
like
it's Outlook itself that is causing this.

Clicking Yes or No seems to make no difference and the message appears in
my
outbox ready to send.

Anybody any clues on this?
