I wonder, are we all 'affected persons' under KAV protection?
I just checked up the log of KAV, and it seems quite interesting. It has blocked the footprint not only for outlook but for others too , like ms-excel. Probably if I open up other ms-office files it would do it the same for others.
The domain name "Foot-print" does not seem to be too innocuous.
In addition there is something else too.... probably you people could check up - KAV has blocked several other programs (all windows) - from data mining from other files !
I wonder is Microsoft illegally trying to acquire data ?
Is it the reason why they are silent on this topic ?
Things look too Phishy.
Despite the Russian connection, may be we have to be thankful to Kasp

Came here for the same reason. Since yesterday KAV has been informing me about the SSL connection *.nrb.footprintdns.com
What really irks me is that I pay Microsoft for this software.

Well, it looks we are paying Microsoft to snoop on us :-)
(the silence of Microsoft team on this subject is speaking)
