It is actually activating your windows messenger.

You need to go into your Outlook settings and turn it off.

How to Disable MSN Messenger and the Network Messenger Service




Make sure to back up registry and make sure that you understand how to restore the registry if a problem occurs


Step 1) To Disable Messenger MSN from running go to the start menu and select RUN. In the window that appears type regedit (see example below)

Step 2) The Registry editor will now have opened. Navigate to the following Key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft

Now create a new key by selecting Edit from the main menu bar. Now select New then Key.
Name this new Key: Messenger

Step 3) Now select the newly created Messenger Key and create another new Key. Only this time we are going to name it: Client (The key should look like the example below...)

Step 4) Next we have to create a DWORD value. So Right Click the new Client Key and select New then DWORD.
Name the DWORD PreventRun (see example below.)

Step 6) Now restart Windows XP and you will have successfully Disabled Messenger MSN

Note:: Although the name of the service is similar, Messenger Service in Windows XP is not related to instant messaging programs such as Windows Messenger and MSN Messenger. Disabling instant messaging programs is not necessary and not recommended. Disabling instant messaging programs will not prevent Messenger Service spam on your computer.
