My pop settings mysteriously change

[Marc]

When I start outlook xp after a fresh boot up, the pop
settings for my email accounts are changed. My username
gets some things added to it, and the pop server settings
change to localhost. I have to change them back every
time in order to send/receive! Very annoying. Please
help.

Turn off mail checking in your antivirus.

Update your antivirus program. That is the cause of this behavior.
