Outlook 2003 Waiting for Subsystem

I’m using Outlook 2003 running XP Pro and Avast 4.7 Home Edition.
When I look at avast! On-Access Scanner, I see under Outlook/Exchange “The provider is waiting for a subsytem to start.”
Are my e-mails being scanned? Is this a problem?
Just a day or two ago, Avast caught a netsky incoming virus so it was working then. I haven’t changed anything since.
Thanks for your help.

without the quotes. It will return many hits.

Thanks for the quick help. Your link did have the answer. It was
“Make sure the avast plugin is not disabled into MS Outlook.
I could guide you on
Outlook 2003 > Help > About > Disabled items”
