Microsoft Office identified a potential security concern
User received the "Microsoft Office has identified a potential security concern" for:
c:\program files (x86)\common\Microsoft shared\smart tag\metconv.dll
Options: Trust all documents from this publisher OR Enable application add-in OR Disable application add-in
Do you know why the user received this message? Supposedly it came up when she was restarting her computer.
I have attached the print screen of the message but it may be very small to read so that was why I typed out the message.

Hi Dirk,
So sorry to forgot to state this is Office 2010 32-bit, on a Windows 7, 64-bit computer. I have not checked the updates on the user's computer; will do that later today. However, we pushed out some updates to all users' computers a couple of weeks ago, which included this computer and the updates were forced updates so she should have the latest.
Thanks.

This is for a different DLL, but the error is the same. See the suggestions in the following thread: Microsoft Office has identified a potential security concern. There is another thread suggesting changing the setting for Apply macro security settings to installed add-ins. I'm not sure if that resolved the issue though.

This was back in 2017 so not sure. Sorry but thought I had said to close this so I do apologize for responding to this.
