One of our staff gets this message in Outlook 2000 that
says, "A program is trying to access your address book"
and prompts for permission to allow access for a specfied
amount of time. It comes up every 30 seconds and each
time he always says NO. Is this a virus, or some security
setting that I cannot find? If there is way to avoid
reformatting the whole computer, I would be happy.

Does he have the ICQ add-in installed? That's an application known to trigger Outlook security prompts where you might not expect it.

For more on these security prompts, see http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup.htm
