Default Outlook 2007 uses 50% of CPU even when it is not doing anything

I have been noticing the last few weeks that my hard disk has been spinning
quite a bit even when I was not doing anything on my desktop machine. It
turned out that Outlook 2007 is using 50% of my CPU (when looking with the
Task Manager), even
when I'm not doing anything, and I assume the disk access is due to Outlook
ecause the disk stops spinning as soon as I exit Outlook, and the CPU usage
goes down to 0%. Thsi is relatively new (the past few weeks) and I have not
installed any new program or feature for the last several months. I do get
Windows updates automatically, so I presume one of those is now causing that
problem.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks,
AT

Do you have any add-ins in Outlook? Are you using Google Desktop Search?

I got rid of Google Desktop search. The problem persists.
I do have one add-in. I ended its process using the task manager,
and the problem still persists.
