Outlook 2003 stays resident?

[GB]

When I close programs I kind of like them to close. However, with Outlook
2003, even after I close it there's an icon in the system tray, there's a
copy of outlook in the task manager, and it goes on downloading my emails
from the POP server. I do not want any of these things to happen after I
close Outlook, so how do I stop it? I can't find anything in the help menus.

That is caused by an addin which you have installed.

Thanks. Bet it's AVG. I'll report back.

Many, many thanks. That was it.

To solve the problem, rerun the AVG installation programme, and select
add/remove components. De-select the office and outlook plug-ins. Re-update
the virus databases afterwards.

You're welcome and thanks for posting feedback!

Same problem caused by a COM add-in from iTunes. I'm not even sure what
iTunes is doing in Outlook. Removed the COM add-in and it corrected the
problem immediately.
