Default Hyperlinks disabled in Outlook 2007

I have always been able to use hyperlinks in emails with Outlook 2007. After
a recent Windows automatic update, I can't use hyperlinks. When I click on a
link in an email I get a Microsoft Office Outlook Security Notice with the
message "Microsoft Office has detected a potential security concern. This
location may be unsafe". It continues with the web address, and it puts the
word "blocked" in front of the hyperlink. It gives me the option of "Do you
want to continue?". When I select "Yes", I get a Microsoft Office Outlook
popup window that says "Access is denied".

I have verified that I have all the latest patches (KB941275), I have reset
IE to default settings, I have checked all security settings in Outlook, but
nothing works. How can I fix this?

When happens when you remove the update?

I can't remove the update; I went to my update history, and it says once
installed the update can't be removed.

My machine just started this nonsense too on April 9. All of my typical
e-mails with hyperlinks are preceded by "blockedhttp:".

If anyone develops a solution to this Microsoft buffoonery - please share.
Many of these hyperlinks can't be copied and pasted into IE (for example, a
frequent flyer newsletter, etc).

Thanks

Sounds like we need to start complaining to the companies that send us stuff,
so they can get after Microsoft for whatever boneheaded patch the sent out
yesterday.

I'm getting the same problem. At first I thought it was just a problem with
newletters from one source. Now I see that it's any hyperlink in any message.

Would someone from MS come online and tell us how to fix this? I
appreciate the concern for online safety, etc., but locking out known safe
sources is a bit much.

Correction it happens on all of my computers. The first time I clicked on a
link it asked where IE was. I directed it to program86, IE. Now when I click
on any link it opens IE to my home page only. Moving the curser over the link
says blocked.
