Every time I open Outlook 2003, I first get the following error message:

"The add-in "C:\Program
Files\SpamBlockerUtility\Bin\4.8.4.0\Redemption.d..." could not be installed
or loaded. This problem may be resolved by using Detect and Repair on the
Help menu."

I have run Detect and Repair, but the error message persists.

I have confirmed that the folder "C:\Program Files\SpamBlockerUtility" in
the error message does not exist on my hard drive.

I checked Tools>Options>Other tab>Advanced>Add-in Manager & COM Add Add-Ins,
and confirmed nothing is listed in either place.

Can anyone provide advice on how to get rid of this error message?

~Thanks! -Jen;-)

Locate extend.dat and rename it to .old.
