SYMPTOMS
When you try to send an e-mail message, you may receive the following message one or more times:

A program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in Outlook. Do you want to allow this?

If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you should choose &quot;No&quot;.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs if you have installed the Microsoft Outlook E-mail Security Update. The Outlook E-mail Security Update provides additional levels of protection against malicious e-mail messages. The update changes the way that Outlook handles attachments and the way that Outlook can be controlled programmatically.

For additional information about this update, see one of the following articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base, depending on the version of Outlook that you have:
