Every time I boot my laptop Windows Defender reports that Microsoft Office
Outlook 2003.lnk is NOT SIGNED. If I select "Deny" permisssion, then Outlook
fails to load on start up. So far I've selected "Permit" with no apparaent
ill effects. Can this proram really have "potentially unwanted behavior"?
Why does Defender report on boot up even after I have applied "Permit". Can
i prevent it from continuously reporting this issue?
I'm running XP Pro, SP2, with all updates installed.
 
Hello Kingstonsean,

I think you may have to work at excluding it from the scan, as an interim
measure. Tools, Options, scroll down to Advanced options, and fill the box,
by adding the full path and file name to the Tools/Options/ do not scan box,
hit the add button, and Save.

Reboot.

Let us know how it works ºut.
