Trying to identify what is trying to access my Outlook address information.
Windows 7, 64Bit. MS Office 2010. I've been getting the dialog box about a program trying to access Outlook Address information. If I'm unsure, then deny access, which I do half a dozen times before it stops. Three to Five minutes later, it starts again. I've run Sysinternals Procmon to try and isolate what is causing this, but have been unable to nail it down. Google searches just get me back information that I should make sure my anti-virus is up to date. (Which it is.)
The actual message is:
A program is trying to access e-mail address information stored in Outlook. If this is unexpected, click Deny and verify your antivirus software is up to date.

I'm quite confident that my system is NOT infected. I have up to date antivirus installed, as well as Windows Firewall protection. My question is more about trying to identify what is trying to access the address book. I've used Sysinternals Procmon, as well as filmon, and regmon. I can't isolate what's trying to use the address book.
if the machine is clean then it could mean that the add-in was not applied properly to Outlook, try uninstalling the AV and re-installing it and see if the message persists.

usually some program access your outlook information, like myob and etc

also, make sure your anti-virus is up to date and able to clean out what ever is trying to send emails on your behalf. most viruses can carry an smtp payload that will access your contacts and start mass-mailing itself to infect other unsuspecting users.
