Description
-----------

The program is an add-in for the Microsoft Outlook security
system also known as Outlook Object Model Guard or Outlook
Security Patch. The standard security system has two
drawbacks: first, it does not allow users to determine the
source of the treat, second, a lot of other applications
developed before the security system appeared can be really
annoying due to their constantly appearing warnings. Since
the security system is constantly updated, a "fresh" program
can get into the list of such applications. There is still
another drawback resulting from the first two: the user can
temporarily disable the security system thus allowing any
other program also to work without any security system
restrictions. 

Our software solves all the above problems providing the
information not only about the type of alert, but also
about what program caused it and makes it possible to
specify for this (and only this!) program the permanent
action: allow access, block access or run the default Outlook
handler.


Installation
------------

Important! If you've got Advanced Security for Outlook not from
our web page, but from the other source (magazine CD or some
software library), please visit our home page - you'll probably
find the later version; usually, we release the updates about
once a month.

To install Advanced Security for Outlook, just run the "setup.exe"
and follow the instructions.

Notes for Microsoft Windows 95/98 users. If you have installed
Windows Installer version 1.x, the following error message will
appear during installation:

    error 1155: file \\INSTMSIA.EXE not found

To avoid it, you should download and install Windows Installer
version 2.0 or later. It can be downloaded from Microsoft
web-site:

   - version for Windows NT 4 and Windows 2000

   - for Windows 95, 98, and Me
