Actually while running automation scripts, we fetch some data from Excel. But when the script is trying to open excel for fetching data, we gets this error popup. We manually have to open excel in safe mode then and once after that, we are able to successfully fetch the data from excel with the Automation script.
This doesn't occurs every time but sometimes we face it in random fashion so not able to debug the root cause of this error.

It doesn't fails everytime. But this popup occurs randomly at any point of time when a script is trying to fetch some data from the file through AutoIT.
