Irritating message in Outlook

[Caaagh]

Hi
I've got Outlook 2002 (SP3 recently installed), running on XP Home. Zone
Alarm and AVG are my default firewall/virus protection. I run adaware and
spybot S&D regularly. I have no strange emails in my inbox or delete box.

Over the last week or so I get an irritating message whenever I start up
Outlook, which says :

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 "No".

Tick box then Allow Access for dropdown menu of 1,2,5,10 mins.

There is no indication which program originates this, and there is no
facility for turning this off.
I have tried loads of tweaking with the security but it still keeps
happening.

I usually tick 1 minute and it goes away permanently.

Could someone out there give me a clue what to do?
TIA
Caagh

I have Outlook and Norton Internet Edition (Firewall + Antivirus +
Antispam). I get this message when I tell the Antispam that some sender is
to be declared as "blocked". I think that this behaviour is normal.

It's a known issue with SP3; security has been updated to more closely match
the security in Outlook 2003. You may be able to get around the problem by
either disabling Word as your e-mail editor or updating some of your
add-ins, especially virus scanners and spam filters (many major
manufacturers have already released compatible updates). See the following
articles for more information:

Thanks Jocelyn - I had a feeling it would be related to SP3 "upgrade".

I have now removed Spamnet which would have cost me $39 per annum to get the
SP3 compatible version (I had the original beta version installed, with was
free) so have lost a spam filter but don't have the irritating security
message.

Microsoft certainly goes out of its way to annoy its customers, doesn't it.
