Outlook POP3 Account settings

[Guest]

I have 3 POP 3 accounts coming into my Outlook (Outlook 2007 w/ XP Pro OS).
I get them all set up and everything works fine for a while..... Then the
settings change on their own. My Incoming mail server changes to"localhost"
and my login changes. for example it should be just

login
instead it changes to be
login/mail.login

Any ideas on how or if this is fixable. it gets really annoying having to
change them all the time

Maybe something to do with AV mail scanning software?

This setting has been made by your antivirus-software. If everything
works without problems, everything is fine. If not disable the feature
scanning incoming and outgoing emails.

Most of anti-virus-programs -- McAfee, Norton, AVG, Norman etc. --
these days have the ability to scan your emails for malware.

and how would I check it?

In the options of your anti-virus-program
