This is meant to help prevent a virus from harvesting information to then spread itself to other potential victims. Where does leave the legit companies that provide extensions to Outlook?
There are a few different tricks that can be performed on the Microsoft Outlook client computer than can attempt to circumvent the security warnings that the user sees. These techniques have their limit, however, when the client is connected to Exchange Server.
