As the first step to quickly fix majority of the issues with Outlook add-in, unregister it and register again. Here is how to do it properly:

1. Close Outlook if opened. 

2. Execute

   regsvr32 /u <product_folder>/mcou.dll regsvr32 /u <product_folder>/x64/mcou.dll

3. Delete all keys like HKLM\SOFTWARE\(Wow6432Node)\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\OutlookKLAvPlg.Addin*

4. Execute 

   regsvr32 <product_folder>/mcou.dll regsvr32 <product_folder>/x64/mcou.dll

5. Open MS Outlook, go to 

   File\ Options\ Add-ins\ field "Manage:", value "COM Add-ins", press button "Go..."\ window "COM Add-ins"

   Make sure the Kaspersky Outlook Anti-Virus Addin checkbox is selected.

Don't forget to specify paths to existing files by checking them beforehand.

Hello,

I want to try with your guide. But on the step 2 and 4 I don't know The Product Folder cause I use Outlook 2010.

Please use the Produkt folder of KES, e.g. 
C:\Program Files (x86)\Kaspersky Lab\KES.12.5.0\
