I ran LiveUpdate today on my installation of Norton
Internet Security, and the only thing that had an
updated element was Norton Anti-Spam. After a reboot
of the computer, I did a test of the "This is Spam"
and "This is Not Spam" NAS toolbar buttons integrated
into Outlook XP and guess what? IT FINALLY WORKS!!

That is to say, the annoying new "warning" message by
Outlook still appears and asks me if I want to allow
the program to access my email addresses - and I have
to click "Yes" THREE TIMES to get it to shut up...

But after that, Norton Anti-Spam does its thing, moves
the message to the Allowed list or the Blocked list -
whatever I've asked it to do - and happily after that,
the Outlook toolbars remain functional, and I can use
the X in the upper right corner to close Outlook.

So, it appears that after about 10 days, Symantec has
FINALLY fixed this issue created by SP3 for Office.
Shame on both Symantec and Microsoft for this terrible
snafu.
