A program is trying to access e-mail addresses

[ssadowski]

This is the full warning that is received in outlook:

Microsoft Office Outlook warning:

"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"."

The antivirus program was up-to-date with the latest
pattern version from Trend. I checked in the virus log
file and there were no logs, which meant that the
antivirus program found no viruses on the system.

Why would this warning be activated if no viruses were
found on the system (assuming that the antivirus program
was working correctly)?

Did you just install 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.

applications known to trigger the warning.
