I hate Microsoft for the MS Outlook and Outlook Express naming (which will be irrelevant in the not to distant future) so to which are you referring when you say outlook ?
In any case, if it is avast related you could post it as I'm not the only one watching the forums, I would however suggest you post it in a new topic (if you mean OE) as it would be unrelated to this MS Outlook issue which is now resolved.
