Security Warnings using Windows XP Service Pack 2

Problem
When Office Tools Pro is run for the first time after installing Windows XP Service Pack 2, a Security Warning dialog may appear. This dialog may also appear when Popup Reminders is started. The dialog looks like this:



.

 

Cause
Office Tools Pro now incorporates messaging features, as of Version 2004.068. This technology allows Office Tools to provide user notifications, send messages, and perform call dispatching. Because some malicious programs use similar messaging mechanisms to perform their dirty work, Windows XP Service Pack 2 detects technology of this kind and blocks it.

Solution
To correct the problem, click the Unblock button on the Security dialog.

More Information
Do not unblock programs that you don't recognize. If you see this dialog on other occasions, and you don't recognize the name of the program displayed in the dialog, then you should NOT click the Unblock button.
