Microsoft SpamBlocker?

[Bill80205]

Office 2003 Standard.
I downloaded and intsalled (automatically) what appeared to be SpamBlocker
Utility today. However, it really messed Outllook up and took over the tool
bar and ability to control fonts. I uninstalled; however, now, when I open
Outlook, get the message: The add-in "C:\Program Files\SpamBlocker
Utility\Bin\4.6.1.0\Redemption.d..." could not be installed or loaded. This
problem may be resolved by using Detect and Repair on the help menu.

Ran Detect and Repair; however, the message still appears when opening
Outlook. Went into Program Files and deleted ann SpamBlocker files; however,
the message still appears when opening Outlook.

Please tell me how to fix this.
Thanks!
Bill Mullen

If you go to Tools/Options/Other/Advanced Options, there is a button at the
bottom called Com Add-in's. Click on this button, and make sure that Spam
Blocker is not checked. Hope this helps.

Thanks! I found the SpamBlocker website and uninstalled again. This time it
worked and removed the add-in. I sure can't recommend this product, which is
supposed to be recommened by MS. It really takes over Outlook - even limits
your ability to control fonts.

I received a gif file by e-mail yesterday and viewed it; today I went to
view in, in Microsoft office picture manager, and I get a message: "Protected
by Spam Blocker utility. Click here to protect your inbox from spam". I
don't know what it is, where it came from or how to remove it.
