Office SP 2 Installation Creates Warning in Outlook

[Chuck Jernigan]

I installed Office SP 2. Now when I create a new message in "Outlook", I
receive a warning , "A program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have
stored in Outlook. Do you want to allow this? If this is unexpercted, it
may be a virus and you should choose "No"."

I am allowed the option with a check box to allow access for a time period
from a drop down list.

Buttons are YES, NO and Help.

I click No and my Contact list appears.

When I click Help, the following is presented:
A program is trying to access your Address Book
A program is trying to access your Address Book or contacts. Viruses can
spread by sending copies of e-mail messages to people listed in your Address
Book. You must allow or deny access to your Address Book before this program
can continue.

I hesitate to click "Yes" until someone who knows more than I do advises me.

I ran a complete virus scan and spyware scan from definations downloaded
today, no intrusions were found.

Does anyone have an opinion or advise?

Thanks
