How do I disable antivirus add-in in Outlook 2002?

[Guest]

I recently uninstalled Symantec Antivirus corporate edition and installed
McAfee VirusScan. Now, every time I open Outlook 2002, I get a message saying
that it cannot find the Symantec Antivirus file and that I might be able to
fix the problem using Detect and Repair. Detect and Repair doesn't seem to be
the tool I should be using when I know that it is trying to load a file that
doesn't exist.

I looked up the Help file to see how to disable add-ins and it directed me
to Tools, Advanced Options. There are three add-ins listed in the Add-in
Manager: SavCorps810, McAfee VirusScan, and Exchange Extensions Property
Pages. There are none listed under COM Add-ins.

How do I stop Outlook from trying to load the Symantec Antivirus add-in?

You can uncheck the "SavCorps810" add-in checkbox listed in the Add-in
Manager; this should stop the error message. You can also locate and delete
or rename the "Extend.dat" file found in Documents and Settings under your
username along the path "Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook";
this file contains a binary list of installed add-ins and deleting it
effectively removes all add-ins.

Thank you. Unchecking SavCorps810 did it! (I couldn't tell by the name
whether that was the right one to select).
