Which program causes: "A program is trying to access e-mail address information stored in Outlook."?


Question

Since a couple of days I get the message when (re)booting my computer "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."

It's not listed which program though. I have already uninstalled some "possible suspects" (like e.g. iCloud and so on) but this didn't help.

In the startup item was an entry called "Program", but disabling this still gives me this pop-up.

 

I ran a complete anti-virus scan and my computer is clean. Also Malwarebytes states my computer is okay.

 

How can I figure out - because the message isn't telling me - which program is trying to access my Outlook?

I have Office 365 installed on a Windows 10 machine.

Of course I can allow this "program", but which one? And what does it do?

I tried several things: uninstalling KIS2016 and all Outlook Com Add-ins.

After reboot the annoying messages still keeps on going strong.

 

Which program is causing this?

After closing Outlook this message appears...

Also the blue circle is running/spinning like crazy and Outlook is pretty much non-responsive...

Hello,

 

You mentioned KIS2016, so I'm guessing you are a Kaspersky customer?  I would suggest contacting their technical support at http://www.kaspersky.com/nl/support and asking them for assistance in checking the computer.  It could be some new piece of malware as-yet undetected by them.

 

Regards,

Now start installing your programs slowly just in case this happens again you can pin point the program causing it.

    • A lot of your issues seem to be part of all the smart tech that's in any current car today. I too don't like the reliance on any of this smart tech, we have 2024 Ford Rangers at work with terrible systems for climate control and media. And there have been times when, stupidly relying on the reversing camera more than the mirrors, that I nearly reversed into a wall, because the display was showing half a second lag, and it seems all the emergency breaking was lagging too. No impact, but I managed to stop with about 1cm clearance from the tow ball because I finally checked my mirrors. Too much beeping, too much reliance on the screen and a computer that's just going to fail after 8 years. This is the era of end of life cars, which fail because of end of support software updates rather than mechanical issues. Now if my 2010 Yaris was electric, that would be the ultimate electric vehicle. None of the smarts, all of the power!
    • Why is it all of the sudden throwing ads everywhere on WhatsApp when they've done it all along without any ads? Their parent company makes plenty of money. Not everything has to make money when the parent company is worth billions. They're just greedy. As far as YouTube, it's absurd to charge for a premium service when people just want to watch a few videos. Charge a reasonable amount for an ad-free experience unless they want to watch 4K movies like they do on Netflix. Back to WhatsApp, they've done it this whole time, so them forcing ads will make users use other platforms.
    • Yeh, an alert human driver would have stopped, or at least drastically slowed down BECASUE there was a red stop sigh and a flipping yellow school bus, which in the context of the USA means kids may be around, but even being from another country, even I know that's a school bus!! It will be difficult for autonomous vehicles to understand the nuances that each country, yet alone each state/province/town has. There's obviously the general rules, but contexts for particular elements of certain streets also help. It's partly why many people don't like "out of towners" as they aren't used to or know the roads, and while this may become possible down the track for autonomous vehicles eventually, it could end badly for some. Lets hope they don't say it's all in the name of progress..
