Had a problem with Outlook (need for work) today.
Changed a lot of things on my laptop, but it's a bad office update :mad:
Lots of reports this morning about Outlook freezing on start.



For me, the solution/workaround was stop using Microsoft Defender (configured by ConfigureDefender) and go back to Kaspersky Security Cloud Free.
No more Outlook crashes :cool:
Just must update my security configuration again...

Did you never get the latest version of F-Secure?
I don't think so.
With the previous update I got a mail from my ISP Ziggo to warn me of potential problems with the upgrade.
From the installer I can't find the version of F-Secure.
The latest installer says:

Haven't tried it now Kaspersky Security Cloud 21.1.15.500 is working fine here.
