Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It provides no
additional protection and even Symantec *used* to say it wasn't necessary
(on this page, prior to being edited on 24 Feb-04:

<paste>
Note: Disabling email scanning does not leave you unprotected against
viruses that are distributed as email attachments. NAV Auto-Protect will
scan any incoming files, including email, as they are saved to your hard
drive. Email scanning is just another layer on top of this. To make sure
that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep Auto-Protect
enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have the most recent
virus definitions.

A gentleman named of Tom in the msn.discussion newsgroup suggested that the
HOSTS
file should be checked to see if it is causing errors for an MSN user, and
he was right.
Good on you Tom. The error was the generic Socket Error: 10060, Error
Number: 0x800CCC0E.
