This week I experienced the same problem at a customer with 2 computers doing the same thing. This caused very bad server performance because the ZideStore process eat all CPU. After restarting ZideStore, the same behavior was happening. Then I checked the outlook installs, their settings etc, and all seemed ok. One computer had suspicious plugins installed though, google desktop search and itunes, 2 things that shouldn't be in Outlook. I removed those but that didn't change anything. Then I killed outlook and found that still the PROPFINDs are happening, so it couldn't be outlook directory, but an external application. After some fun with taskmgr and killing processes I found the application that caused this. The application is called DesktopSMS, no idea what that application does, but it likes to bomb (prob) the outlook calendar and contacts. The DesktopSMS application is removed, ZideStore doesn't eat 99% CPU anymore and the server runs extremely fast as usual and a happy customer (again).

That is really interesting. Thanks for posting the resolution back the list!
