Question : [Outlook]  Program Crashing -- Need to Disable AVG

Applications:  Outlook 2002 (10.2627.2625), MS Office XP SP3
O/S:              Windows 2000 Professional, SPK 4

This is a followup to an earlier question
    [Outlook]  Program Crashing / Folder Permissions
    http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Office_Productivity/Groupware/Outlook/Q_23770517.html

In brief, Outlook has been crashing several times a day.
In troubleshooting this problem I have tried several things (as described in the earlier posting), to no avail.

I suspect there may be some interference from the AVG anitvirus software.

Three questions on disabling AVG ...
(1) How do I do this? By unregistering a DLL or by uninstalling the whole program?
(2) Is there a way of disabling only the portion associated with Outlook, while leaving the rest of the program intact?
(3) If there is a way of disabling only the Outlook portion, how at-risk will I be to viruses and what should I do to mitigate the risk?  
 
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
