Outlook/Android - "A program is trying to access email addresses stored in Outlook"

[tbessie]

I downloaded the latest version of CompanionLink Professional, and now, when I sync, I'm getting the message in the title (or something similar, with it asking how long I want to allow it for).

I never used to get asked this when I do Outlook/Android WiFi Sync on Windows 10.

Is this a new Windows feature, do you suppose, or some change in how CompanionLink operates that is causing this to happen?

Ok thanks, I'll take a look!

EDIT: Got it - I had disabled Avast! because it was getting in the way of installing the new version of CompanionLink; because it was disabled, that's why I was seeing that message. I usually don't disable it, so that's why I never see the message. Thanks for your help!
