Outlook Internet Explorer 8

I really don't know if I am in the correct forum. the problem i am having is
both IE 8 and Outlook. If there is a forum that I should post this in please
advise. Thanks.

I have Windows 7, patched, IE8, Office 2007 patched. the problem started a
little over a week ago.

Problem:
After I reboot my computer I open up an IE8 window than I open up Outlook
(2007). I can go to webpages in IE8 and everything is fine. however OUtlook
will not download my email messages, Send/receive progress says the sending
message was successful however receiving was unsuccessful: Receiving reported
error (0x8004210a) the operation timed out waiting for a response from teh
receiving (POP) server. If you continue to receive this message, contact
your server administrator or ISP.

if i reboot and open up Outlook first my email messages will download
without any problems. I than open up IE 8 and my homepage will not appear and
if i try to go to another web page it does not go, after a while (say 5
minutes) i will get the screen saying if i want to diagnose the problem click
on the diagnose button. I reboot and go straight to IE8 and I can get to my
home page and open another window no problem but email will not download.

what i have done:
ran my antivirus program (f-secure from charter security suite)-- no virus
found
ran Malwarebytes program --- no problems found
ran ad-aware program--no problems found
ran Glary Utilites to clean temp files, clean registry etc..
system restore to April 1st and still have the problem. even though my
system restore is turned on i only had April 1st and April 5th restore
points, when i did the restore yesterday. today there is only one restore
point and that is yesterdays date with the one program that i uninstalled. I
believe there should be more than one restore point out there, with that i am
thinking something else is wrong with the system.
uninstalled 2 programs that i installed within the last 2 weeks and still
have the problem.
i am running out options and hope someone can help out.
Thank you in advance for any assistance with this issue.

Thank you Ben, I will check when I get back home later today. I had no
problem until a couple of weeks ago. This is very frustrating. I will post
back later today.

To set up an Internet connection click setup--
I clicked on it and it says that I am already connected

Dial-up and VPN settings -- nothing there

Choose Settings if you need to configure a proxy server for a connection-
the whole section is greyed out but the:
Never dial a connection button is selected..

LAN settings
Automatically detect settings is checked off.
Proxy server is not checked off.

Tonight I had Outlook opened, I opened IE and it sat there for a long time,
the arrow was spinning. I closed out IE, closed out Outlook and opened IE
again, had the same results. I rebooted the computer and went straight to
IE, again i had the same results where the arrow was spinning. So I shut
down the computer for a minute, than turned it on. went straight to IE and
it opened it. I opened up Outlook however my email messages will not
download. plus if i try to open more than 2 IE's in one IE window i get the
same results --- arrow spinning. If i open a new IE windows i get the
spinning arrow.

Any other suggestions?
Thanks

Ben,
Thank you for your help. Someone mentioned they had this problem before and
they uninstalled and reinstalled f-secure. So I did the same (f-secure from
Charter) and so far everything is working properly.
Thanks again.
