Unknown Problem
I am running outlook 2002 on vista. The recent problem got on computer.I also
have PC clline AV. (a) On start of outlook express a pop up of window shows stating " A unknown programme is trying to acces your outlook. It may be virus...... Please confirm if you want it to be permitted.." Ofcourse Yes & No tabs are also there. So I press NO. But frequency of appearing of this window is so high that I can't click NO fast enough & this window remain virtually permamnent. Further, as this window appears nothing can be done. The AV couldn't detect anything. (b) Can any one help. If it is virus how do I take care of it? Thanks -- Kumar |

That warning is standard when another program like Outlook Express uses
Outlook to send an e-mail. Nothing to worry about unless you are not controlling the action. http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=52 -- Eric Legault - Outlook MVP, MCDBA, MCTS (SharePoint programming, etc.) Try Picture Attachments Wizard for Outlook: http://www.collaborativeinnovations.ca Blog: http://blogs.officezealot.com/legault/ "Kumar" wrote: I am running outlook 2002 on vista.

Thanks Eric,
The reply has been helpful to assure me that it can be fixed. However, I couldn't fix it because it shows actions required to be taken at outlook code level. How do I get there. Secondly, say if I remove outlook 2002 & install outlook 2003 ( another option I have) will this problem be solved.

It's not something that needs to be "fixed", and you can't really do anything
about it unless you are developing a solution using Outlook. The only way to avoid security prompts from an end-user's perspective is to upgrade to Outlook 2007, or in a corporate Exchange environment you can see if your administrator can manage this. If you want to pay for a hack, you can buy this: http://www.contextmagic.com/express-clickyes/ -- Eric Legault - Outlook MVP, MCDBA, MCTS (SharePoint programming, etc.) Try Picture Attachments Wizard for Outlook: http://www.collaborativeinnovations.ca Blog: http://blogs.officezealot.com/legault/ "Kumar" wrote: Thanks Eric, The reply has been helpful to assure me that it can be fixed.

Do you have any other programs that scan e-mails, like junk filters,
attachment extension filter, etc.? Which program exactly is opening the warning window, or is it Windows itself? Basically, which program is the "guard" of such action? In my PC it is my Firewall that surveys over such actions. Have you tried disconnecting your PC from the net and disabling ALL protection programs, AV, Firewall, AntiSpyware...? Does this happen in SafeMode? -- Cheers, Alphonse "Kumar" wrote in message ... I am running outlook 2002 on vista. The recent problem got on computer.I also have PC clline AV.
