Outlook prompt for programmatic sending of e-mails

Outlook is prompting for each programmatically sent e-mail. A check in Trust Centre shows the operating system shows it that the anti-virus is invalid.

How do I make Windows 10 Professional understand that avast! is a valid anti-virus application, and so allow our accounting package to send e-mails without manual intervention?

  • Remove avast completely
  • Reboot
  • Install the latest avast version
