Errant programs

[oldbear31]

When I click to open an email, I get the message: "A
program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have
stored in OUtlook. Do you want to allow this?
Yes....No". If yes, a provision is made for allowed
minutes. If no, it just shuts Outlook and then reopens;
all without opening the email I wanted to open. I can't
find this program; I have no viruses or trojan horses;
what do I do to get rid of this "program" and get on with
my email? the Oldbear

for all versions: For more information on the security features, see

For Outlook 2002 SP3: SP3 adds additional properties to the list of those
that are affected by the security features. As a result, one of your add-ins
needs updated to the latest version - antispam add-ins are a common cause
although others are affected by the changes as well. Many add-ins were
updated following the release of Outlook 2003 and should work with SP3, if
not you'll need to contact the vendor for a newer version.

http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2002sp3.htm#problems has a list of
applications known to trigger the warning.
