"program is trying to access email addresses stored in Outlook.....";

[Z.E]

My Outlook started acting a little funny so, I first
repaired Office, then reinstalled Office. Now when I hit
the "new" button I get an Outlook message:

A program is trying to access email addresses stored in
Outlook. If this unexpected it could be a virus.
Choose "No"

I have tried to raise and lower the security level but I
keep getting that warning message. Can somebody tell me
what to do? Please.

Which version? See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup.htm for general
infomation.

Outlook 2002 SP3 adds additional properties to the list of those that are
affected by the security features. As a result, one of your add-ins needs
updated to the latest version - antispam add-ins are a common cause
although others are affected by the changes as well. Many add-ins were
updated following the release of Outlook 2003 and should work with SP3, if
not you'll need to contact the vendor for a newer version.

http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2002sp3.htm#problems has a list of
applications known to trigger the warning.
