Outlook 2003 blocks access to Contacts when creating a new e-mail

When creating a new e-mail message, and accessing
contacts, the following message appears.

A program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have
stored in Outlook. Do you want to allow this? If this is
unexpected, it may be a virus and you should choose "No".

Microsoft says this is a new feature in Outlook, BUT
Outlook is blocking itself from accessing contacts, not
another application.

CAUSE
This behavior occurs because of security changes in
Outlook 2003. The object model that is used in Outlook
2003 blocks more properties than in previous versions of
Microsoft Outlook. Programs that worked with previous
versions of Outlook may now experience security blocks in
Outlook 2003.
 
Do you have any add-ins installed? Outlook won't block itself.

Check in Tools, Options, Other, Advanced Options, Add-In Manager and COM
Add-ins.
