Is this a virus??
Arrggg, I wish I could get my hands on these punks that
develop these viruses!! Which virus is the following??

Symptoms:
1) Windows XP Pro SP1
2) Office Update-11
3) Microsoft Outlook 2002 SP3

Every time I create a new message (Word is my default
editor), I get a Outlook Warning dialog box that warns:
"A program is trying to access addresses you have stored
in your Outlook address book. Do you want to allow this?

If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you should
answer 'No'"

The Help Button reads:
A program is trying to access your Address Book
A program is trying to access your Address Book or
contacts. Viruses can spread by sending copies of e-mail
messages to people listed in your Address Book. You must
allow or deny access to your Address Book before this
program can continue.

Allow access

Do one or both of the following:

To allow the program access for this instance only (such
as for one contact), click Yes.
To allow unsecured access for a specified time period of
up to 10 minutes, select the Allow Access for check box,
and then click a time period in the list.
Deny access

Click No.

Thanks in advance for your assitance, I have sun several
virus removal tools, have Norton 2004 with full emailing
screening (including worms) and the current defs
installed???

Peace, out,
Sixbells

This isn't a virus at all. The symptoms you are experiencing are a result of applying Office 2002 (XP) SP3. SP3 adds the Body and HTMLBody properties to the list of properties that trigger the security prompt. You'll need to update any add-ins that trigger the security warning.
