I'm using Outlook 2003 running under XP home.
Every time Outlook starts, my virus checker (Kaspersky) reports

"The application C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE cannot establish connection with server
66.151.189.37. Please check your internet connection settings. If you
have a firewall installed, check that the application avp.exe is
allowed internet access"

Well, avp.exe is the virus executable and it has internet access. the
ip quoted is registered at colospace.com.

I have scanned for Trojans and adware without finding anything.

Anyone any idea what's going on?

Did you have a pop or hotmail account configured in that profile at any
time?
I would try creating a new MAPI profile, and see if that resolves the
issue...

Why would that fix the issue? I mean, I am making an assumption that
someone running XP Home isn't likely to have an Exchange server.....

At what point does it do this? When you start outlook? Trying to open a
random email? Composing? Doing a send/receive?

How many accounts do you have configured in Outlook?

Does it happen if you go to Start - Run 'outlook /safe'?

Is Outlook configured to do a Send/Receive All when it starts?
