SP3 causes security alerts

Ever since installing Office SP3, I now get the standard
Outlook warning advising me that an unauthorized program
is attempting to access Outlook (specifically my address
book) when I go to create a new appointment within my own
calendar.

Whereas this warning only was initiated when a program
other than Outlook attempted to retrieve Outlook contact
info, it is extremely frustrating to have Outlook now
prompt me that it is attempting to access it's own info.

What can be done to disable this warning from within
Outlook?
 
Outlook 2002 SP3 adds additional properties to the list of those that are
affected by the security features. As a result, one of your add-ins needs
updated to the latest version - antispam add-ins are a common cause
although others are affected by the changes as well. Many add-ins were
updated following the release of Outlook 2003 and should work with SP3, if
not you'll need to contact the vendor for a newer version.

http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2002sp3.htm#problems has a list of
applications known to trigger the warning.

To learn how to program around the new properties (which is needed for the
macros to work with OL2003 too) see http://www.outlookcode.com/d/sec.htm
