Following on from my post about anti-virus software, I'm hoping someone maybe able to offer advice.

I run a PC with Vista 64 and I have MS Office 2007.

Recently I've started to occasionally get a message when an email appears in Outlook, and the message says that a program is trying to access email address information; this message is coming from Outlook itself but doesn't say what the program is. The message gives me the option to deny or allow access for a few minutes, I always click deny.

I've ran various online scans from Norton, Trend Micro, F Secure and MS Windows Live Onecare. I've ran AVG, Avast, Avira, Kaspersky, Spybot, Ad-adware and Windows Defender.

All say my machine is clean.

Anyone else had this or got any ideas?

Download and run the free version of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
http://www.malwarebytes.org/

let that do a full scan and if there is anything nasty it should help find it.

Seems to be a lot of that about.
A similar question on (and other places) refers to a which should identify the cause.

There's an article on about it.
