Q: When I have avast! installed, my MS Outlook keeps crashing. The "ModName" in the technical information window refers to "oleaut32.dll"

A:

The problem is caused by an incompatibility between avast! antivirus and the "MSN Desktop Search" application.

We're investigating ways to solve the issue.

Before the problem is solved, the only known workaround is to disable the MSN toolbar in Outlook.
