Per NTbugTraq -----------------

Outlook 2002 SP3 introduced new elements that are protected by the
Object Model Guard. See;

http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2002sp3.htm#problems

for details.

Sunbelt Software's "iHateSpam" is affected. The vendor is
aware of the problem and is working on a solution.

Cloudmark "Spamnet" is also affected. The vendor is aware
of the problem and is working on a solution.

Two suggested work-arounds are:

   1. If using Windows XP, perform a System Restore to a
      restore point prior to installing Office XP SP3. Of
      course, you will loose the security benefits of the
      service pack.

   2. You can try "Express ClickYes" from:
      http://www.express-soft.com/mailmate/clickyes.html,
      which is supposed to automatically dismiss the
      Security Warning dialog, but I have no reports of
      anyone experimenting with this software, and cannot
      vouch for its integrity or effectiveness.

There are two reports that the open-source SpamBayes is not
adversely affected by the installation of Office XP SP3.
Server-based email filters are not affected.
