Security question when Hotsyncing after installing Office SP3

L

Lars-Erik Østerud

After I installed MS Office SP3 I get an annoying questions each time
I "Hotsync" my Palm desktop (I use norwegian Office, but I'll guess it
would be something like this in the english version of Office 2000):

"A program tried to access e-mail adresses you have stored in Outlook.
Do you want to permit this? If this is unexpected it might be a virus,
and then you should choose "No" - Allow access for (select minutes)"

1) Why does this come each time I "hotsync" (Hotsync is no virus)
2) Is there a way to tell Outlook that "hotsync" is allowed ALWAYS

This message really annoy me, and I'd like to get rid of it :)

PS! Is it a possibilty to replace the file that asks this question
with an older one (before it start asking) to get rid of it?

intention was to let you kno if a virus is trying to gain access to your
contacts and sending it self out.

Click to expand...

But newer versions of the Palm HotSync and Chapura PocketMirror
can do a sync without this message appearing. So it must be a way.
Why can't someone (PalmOne) release a patch for the old HotSync
(can't upgrade to version 4 since that requires PalmOS >3) :-(

I see the security part, but all these messages and stuff are plain
annoying. People with firewalls and anti-viruses are safe anyway.
