How do I get rid of "the add-in"C:\Program Files\SpamBlockerUtili

[Guest]

MS Office Outlook 2003, Windows XP Professional

On opening OUTLOOK I get this message: "The add-in 'C:\Program
Files\SpamBlockerUtility\Bin\4.7.1.0\Redemption.d...' could not be installed
or loaded. This problem may be resolved by using Detect and Repair on the
Help menu."
I have used "Detect and Repair several times, without success. How can I get
rid of this message?
OUTLOOK seems to work OK, otherwise.

Sounds like a third party app. Look in Add/Remove dialogue for the
SpamBlocker app.
In OL check under Tools for Addins/Coms and untick the Spamblocker addin

Thank you DL,

Your answer was helpful even though I could not find the items you suggested
I look for. At least it got me out of my depressed funk and on to trying
something else. I "googled" "SpamBlockerUtility" which turned out to be
"Adware", went to the site for SBU and under the list of subjects found an
uninstall. Clicked on that, and my problems were solved.
Thank you for your time and effort.

Malaware, a real pest.
As well as uptodate AV/Firewall these days you should perhaps also run
malaware scans.
Adaware SE, SpyBot and even MS Defender often reccomended, and they are free
