Re: Mail Server Account Information

I just bought this PC from Dell & went through the wizard to set up my mail
account. Also,
I have McAfee virus protection, antispam & firewall. I have intalled all
the latest updates &
ran the virus checker with no viruses found.

This problem started immediately after setting up Outlook Express & the next
time I powered
on the problem was there. I have not yet installed any software other than
the McAfee updates
for each of the McAfee programs I mentioned earlier. I did not see anything
in the startup
file that would make me suspicious.

Should I download & install some adware software to see if that can find
anything??
Thanks,
Michelle
