Hi,

It seems like your Microsoft outlook has been blocked by your antivirus. From the message, its my discovery that you use avast as your antivirus of choice. Avast has a mechanism which checks the potential danger of applications which use the internet. Try checking the option settings in your antivirus control panel.

Hello King,

To resolve that issue, you will need to go to Tools, and then Trust Center. After that you will need to choose Add-ins on the left, and then in the drop down at the bottom of that window you will need to choose "Exchange Client Extensions" and then click the "Go…" button. Disable Avast and then click OK.

Regards,

Nicke

Hi King,

It seems that Outlook has disabled add in g. For getting rid of this error you need to enable it. In doing so you need to go to add in management for outlook. It is different for different version of outlook. On the abstract view you need to go to the tools and Add on Manager/Disabled Items and enable the avast extensions.

I hope this will helps you.

Thank you.

Hi,

To get rid of this error you download the utility aswClear.exe which will clean the Avast and get rid of the error messages you are getting. Try this, I hope this will work for you.

Thanks.
