ANSWER

The Redemption Helper Outlook Extension is a COM library that allows bypassing of Outlook Security setting such as sending email on your behalf, export messages, create, access and manipulate MAPI profiles, manage junkmail settings, etc…
The plug-in is installed many times by third party software you use, such as other Outlook Plug-Ins, address book managers, Office add-ons, etc.
If it is causing errors, or you are sure you no longer use the features of the plug-in, you may simply disable the add-in by following the steps listed here:
