Outlook failing to start

Since loading Avast! I am unable to start Outlook. I get a splash screen from avast - ms outlook/exchange. Then the next thing I get is the system error message asking if I want to send info about the error to Microsoft.

Can someone help me with this. I want to use Avast, but I need access to my Outlook.

Any help would be appreciated.

Do you use “MSN Search Toolbar”? Is it updated?

Check the avast plugin state into MS Outlook:

Outlook 2003 > Help > About > Disabled items
Outlook 2000 > Tools menu > Options > Other > Advanced Options > Add-In Manager.

Which is your Outlook? Which Windows do you use?
