Removing Add-Ins form OL2003

[news.microsoft.com]

I originally posted this note about two hours ago and it hasn't shown up
yet. I apologize if it appears twice.


I moved an Outlook 2003 pst file from one system to another also running
OL2003.

When I open OL in the new system I get a 'Red X' message telling me that a
certain add-in pertaining to McAfee antivirus can't be loaded or installed.

OL help tells me to go into tools options and remove the add-in. The add-in
is not listed.

I tried a detect and repair, that didn't help.

I'm sure the reference to McAfee is there because the old system uses that
a/v program. The new systems uses Norton 2003 a/v.

How can I eliminate this annoyance?

Thanks in advance.
