Question\/Issue:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When you start Microsoft\u00ae Outlook\u00ae, you see the following message: “The add-in ‘C:\\Program Files\\Symantec_Client_Security\\Symantec AntiVirus\\vpmsece.dll’ could not be installed or loaded. This problem may be resolved by using Detect and Repair on the Help menu. Unable to load “C:\\Program Files\\Symantec_Client_Security\\Symantec AntiVirus\\vpmsece.dll”. You may be out of memory, out of system resources, or missing a .dll file.” When Symantec AntiVirus 10.x is installed, the error message may reference the file vpmsece2.dll or vpmsece3.dll. Use of the Detect and Repair option, as suggested in the error message, does not solve the problem.<\/p>\n
