Outlook Error message

Hi Guy's

I have this message below on Outlook 2003 and cannot get rid of it. I have tried software downloads but to no-avail. If anyone can post me some instrucrtions on how to get rid of this message, I would be very greatful. This security is to prevent virus from emailing contacts in your mailbox

'A program is tring to access e-mail address you have stored in Outlook. Do you want to allow this?
If this is unexpected, it maybe a virus and you should choose "No"'

I have seen this before, but I was updating a baynesian filter with SPAM e-mails and the program was using my Outlook account/profile to scan the e-mails. If you are not running a similar program, I would run various mal-ware/anti-virus programs until the culprit is found and removed. For sure that message would make me nervous.

If you are not intentionally doing something that would be accessing your contacts, then that message is telling you something that needs to be addressed! You do not just want the message to go away - you need to resolve the reason for the warning. I hope that you're choosing "No".
