Hello Everyone,

I want to take this time to thank you in advance for taking the time to
assist me.

Here is my problem (at least I think it may be an issue...I could be worng,
as I am known to be from time to time)...

For the past several weeks, when I launch Outlook, an unusal Icon has been
appearing off and on. However, the past few days it has been appearing
everytime Outlook is running.

The icon goes away when I close Outlook, but when it Outlook is running and
I place the pointer over the icon, the following IP ADDRESS(ES) appear(s):

66.111.4.150, 66.111.4.150

I have no clue, but I do know that for some reason it is only associated
with Outlook, when it is running. An additioanlly odd thing about the icon
is when my poiter is over it and I right click on it, nothing happens. I
mean, absolutely nothing. Ususally, when I right click on an icon in the
tray I am provided with several different options for that program. I just
do not get it.

Can anyone help me? I do have an electronic illustration of what I am
talking about should you need to see the icon.

Again, I thank you all for your help!!!

Respectfully,

Derek J. Roscoe
 
Hi Derek

two suggestions:
1) do cntrl & alt & delete - choose task manger (if XP) and take a note of
all the applications running BEFORE opening Outlook, do the same with
Outlook running - this may give you an idea of what is going on
2) install a spyware detection program (i use spyware doctor
http://www.pctools.com/spyware-doctor/)

If it's an icon colored in black, it's probably the Avast! anti-virus
protection for Outlook. You can't disable it, unless you uninstall
Avast!.
