Outlook running automatically-Problem

My outlook seems to be running even though it has not been started.
OS=Windows 2000 Professional
Outlook 2000 SP3.
Even from a fresh powerup or restart, Outlook is not in my startup menu
folder, it will give me notifications that new mail has arrived as if it is
running somewhere in the background.
I know that the experts say this can't be done (i have seen post from others
asking how they could do this) but it is driving me crazy
and my email is being cleared off the server due to it.
This machine is also running PC Anywhere 10.0.3 (for remote access) and
WinFAX Pro 10.02 all the time to handle these services.
Other outlook symptoms are:
Not deleting files (after a while in my deleted folder even though option is
selected.
Starting a new message generates an error related to my vcard in my
signature of "Can't create file Joseph P. Golan.vcf (This is a new problem
just startin g today)

Occasional fatal error and I get a message that outlook is shutting down
even though it is not running.

Outlook may not restart, forcing a restart of the desktopto clear.

Any help or direction would be appriciated
 
I have WinFAX and outlook running on together on other machines without this
problem. Any other suggestions?

WinFaxPro has always caused Outlook to run in the background.

None needed. WinFax Pro is the problem.

WinFax Pro is by far the most common cause for this behavior. Even though
one update might fix it, the next will cause the problem to return. I doubt
Symantec has done anything to keep current versions compatible with the
older versions of Outlook. You can look at other COM
Add-ins if you want and synchronization software, but if I were you I'd be
checking with Symantec.
