I have the exact same problem on my home computer and on my office
computer.
It began as soon as I "upgraded" from Office 2003 to Office 2007. The
problem has NOTHING to do with Norton. I vowed two years ago NEVER to use
Norton again, so my anti-virus on my home computer is McAfee (I do not
have
Norton at work either). Outlook consistently refuses to shut down.
Microsoft--FIX THE PROBLEM!!!

And McAfee is known to cause the problem as well. If you scan incoming
mail, uninstall McAfee and reinstall it without the mail scanning feature.
