Outlook + Norton 2007 not playing nicely together

E

Ely

I have Outlook 2002 and Norton internet Security 2007. When i receive Spam in
my inbox, i can designate it as This is Spam using a link from Norton. But
whenever i do that, i get a Microsoft dialogue box saying "A program is
trying to access e-mail addresses stored in your Outlook. Do you want to
allow this? If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you shoud choose
no". Then there are 'yes' and 'no' boxes and regardless of which one i
choose, i get this same message each and everytime i try and designate e-mail
as spam. is there a way of getting rid of this?

I'd appreciate any help.

Yes, unistall Norton, reinstall and do not activate email integration. It is useless, overkill, and the root of many problems, one of which you have discovered.
