Program Constantly Seeking Access to My Address Book

A recurring message box (wrong term, I think, but I hope you know what I
mean) keeps telling me that a program is trying to access my Outlook address
book...

If I "deny" access, then the message just appears again immediately and I
can't do anything else on the computer...

If I "accept", the message box starts appearing again after the time I
choose for access (1 min., 5 min., etc.)...

A "re-start" doesn't get rid of the message or the repeating phenomenon
described..

Tried different "Help" requests but nothing seems related (beyond telling me
I must accept or deny access)...

Among possible paths to a solution, the following question occurs to me (you
may think of other fixes)

- How do I find out what (or even if a) program is seeking access so I can
try to figure out how to stop that program's attempts to get access to my
Outlook address book?

Thanks in advance for your counsel!

Outlook has security put into it to warn you if there is unautorised use of
your Outlook data.

If an addin is not properly programmed it may bring this message up.

Check to see if you have any Outlook addins installed.
