Re: keep getting password request

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I had a friend who has this problem - may not be yours of course
After hours of frustration it turned out to be a malware or virus that
disables the windows remember password function
It is a keylogging virus that tries to get you to punch in the password so
it can record the keystokes
Sorry cant remember the virus name - and not all antivirus software will
detect it
I will post back if i remeber the virus name

I have tried to set up a second computer in our house with it's own e mail
address. I have checked with our server and everything is right as far as
set up goes. They say it is a software problem and to ask microsoft.
Whenever I try and send an e mail it asks for the password. If you enter
it
all you get is the same request again. Even so I have managed to receive
messages. Why on sending does it ask for password? I have tried
everything.
We have tried to get this e mail properly online for months. Is it a
software problem? All the configuration is right in 'Accounts'
