Default how do I stop a program accessing e-mail addresses in Outlook?

I'm trying to use Outlook 2002. When I enter a new contact, within 10
seconds I get a pop-up saying "A program is trying to access e-mail addresses
you have stored in Outlook. Do you want to allow this?". I say no, but the
pop-up comes back every 5 seconds or so. It effectively means that I can't
use Outlook. I've run virus scans and nothing is found. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance. Daniel

Not an Outlook problem. Outlook's security requirements are well documented
and have been in place for over 5 years. You must be running some badly
outdated or poorly written add-in. Only you could know what it is. The
possibilities are endless. Look here for some:

Hello Daniel,

you can use the Tool "Advanced Security for Outlook" to find out which
program needs the access:
