Hi, my enterprise has just installed the latest McAfee anti virus system on
to my windows vista laptop (I am alone in running Vista everyone else has XP)
On opening Outlook from Office 2007, I get the following message. The Addd
In "Exchange Scan" C:\Program Files\McAfee\Managed\VirusScan\
OtlkUI.20090630111923.dll) cannot be loaded and has been disabled by
outloook. Any ideas on 1 what this is, 2. where/how to find and disable this
as it isn't at the address given

1. Its the mcafee email scanning feature.
2. tools, trust center, addins - is it listed in the disabled addins
section? if so, you shouldn't get the error message unless mcafee is
enabling it at reboot. Then you'll need to disable it in mcafee's options.

it since I removed the program. THey even checked the steps listed below.
Any insight? Thank you - Norma

Try deleting the (usually hidden) file
%UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application\Microsoft\Outlook\extend.dat (on XP)
or
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Outlook\extend.dat (on Vista or 7).

THank you - I tried it, but the error does not go away. I will just deal
with this pop up; it's better than having a computer that does not work.

Regards.
