Microsoft Outlook Express may freeze

Microsoft Outlook Express may freeze if the ESET® Smart Security Antispam toolbar is integrated into it.

How do I remove the ESET Smart Security Antispam toolbar in Microsoft Outlook?

 

Could you please elaborate on this issue? Does it happen to you on a regular basis?

 

If the Antispam toolbar was already installed before the Outlook Express was started the Outlook Express freezes as soon as you attempt to display the content of one of the e-mail folders. If you install the Antispam toolbar while the Outlook Express is running the Outlook Express works fine.

Workaround:
1. close Outlook Express (if frozen kill it)
2. remove (uninstall) the Antispam toolbar
3. open Outlook Express
4. install the Antispam toolbar (while the Outlook Express is running)
5. work with Outlook Express including the Antispam toolbar
6. remove (uninstall) the Antispam toolbar
7. close Outlook Express

 

For me it's been working flawlessly and I haven't seen such issue reports here either. Do you have other plugins for OE installed? Which version do you use? Do you use POP3 accounts?

As far as I can see I have a PGP plug-in (Pretty Good Privacy), but do not know how to uninstall or disable it.
