Hi friends,
My issue here is about Microsoft Office Outlook, the application will always disable my antivirus E-mail plugin,
I knew this because of an error message that appeared on my screen, I pasted below the screen shot of the error message.
Microsoft Office Outlook
The Add-in “F-PROT Antivirus E-mail plug-in” (C:Program FilesFRISK SoftwareF_PROT
Antivirus for Windowsfpoutavext.dll)cannot be loaded and has been disabled by
Outlook. Please contact the Add-in manufacturer for an updated. If no update is available, please uninstall the Add-in
As I read on the error message, I was afraid that I might be infected with a virus that goes along with my emails, by this I am not be able to check my email, I am wondering for some compatibility issue, but this error just came along today, no problems encountered before days, please help analyze this error, hoping to hear from you soon, thanks friends.

The main reason why Microsoft Office Outlook keeps disabling the email add-on of your antivirus is because it is not compatible with your current version of Microsoft Office Outlook. The email client cannot start and work properly if there is one plug-in that doesn’t work properly because of incompatibility. Most antivirus programs include an email client plug-in that can help protect you from dangerous and suspicious attachments.
This is good but sometimes the problem comes with usability because some of the plug-ins is not compatible with the existing version of the email client. To fix the problem, visit the F-PROT website and check the product features of your version. Another way is to check the documentations that come with your product and verify the supported versions of Microsoft Office Outlook.
Open Windows Explorer then navigate to the installation folder of your F-PROT antivirus and look for files like without quotes “readme.txt”, CHM files (*.chm), and others. The CHM file is the help file of your antivirus and it contains proper documentations of your product including installation guides, system requirements, product features, and more.
