Program is trying to access your address book

Please i forgot my password and secret question.. Maybe a little late to post this, anyway, found a nice solution for this problem. In my case the message popped up every time I wanted to send a new mail message and the reason was a dll from Adobe I have Adobe Acrobat Professional on the computer Look for MapiLab in Google …. Your fix is perfect. One more cause of irritation off the list! By the time this computer is obsolete, it will be working perfectly…. Adobe website acknowledges this as a problem… see.

I went to the mapilab. But I cud not find teh solution there. Comments violating those rules will be removed.

Is a coupples of days that I have this weird problem here with my OutlookXP. When I go to compose a new email and click over the New button, I get a popup telling that A program is trying to access your Address Book and if I want it to let it manage my address book and for how much time.

Why am I having this thing now? I have found on the net some ways to bypass this popup without solving the problem. Can someone help? Thank you. I think I found the problem myself. To remoove this toolbar it must be made a Windows registry mod.

This will stop the Acrobat bar from loading and seemed to solve the problem. Feb 12, , AM. Congratulations on finding it yourself. It is not a "stand alone" scan, but needs to be run. All 3 of the above programs run better and much faster when run in SafeMode. To get into SafeMode: Re-boot the computer, and immediately after starting up, Press and hold down, F8, at top of keypad.

When the options show on the screen, use the up and down arrow keys on the keyboard to select "Safe Mode". Press Enter It's best to run the AdAware scan first; 3 times; then re-boot. Then, run the AdAware scan again 3 times; then run the SpyBot. Then, run CWShredder. Re- Boot. Reason for running so many times: Some of these trojans' files can be deleted the first time; leaving some others; but on re-boot, they re-write the files that were deleted.

Running multiple times deletes most of it the first Time. Feb 15, , AM. Thank you very much for the info. Apr 14, , PM. Hi Pirata, Thank you very much for your info. It works for me.
