microsoft outlook 2007 error

[Arlene]

Task '(e-mail address removed) - Receiving' reported error (0x80042108) :
'Outlook cannot connect to your incoming (POP3) e-mail server. If you
continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or
Internet service provider (ISP).'

I received the following error recently after one of the windows updates. I
have Vista Home Premium with Office 2007 for Vista. Talked with my provider
and there is nothing wrong on their end. Help Please

If you have a virus scanner that integrates with Outlook, disable this
integration and try again.

Thanks for the tip but email was already disabled by the Geek Squad when I
bought the computer. This problem seemed to just happen. Any other
suggestions?

What did you do on your PC just before "just happened"?
