Vista, Outlook 2003 and Antivirus

[General Specific]

I am having a problem Antivirus programs are blocking Outlook 2003
from connecting to a hosted Exchange server.

I am setting up a system. Dell Laptop, Vista, Office 2003. I have
tried various antivirus programs, AVG, NOD32, Kaspersky, and they all
are causing a problem where Outlook 2003 refuses to connect to to a
hosted Exchange. I tried disabling email scanning to no avail.
Outlook hangs until I shut down antivirus and then instantly connects.

What version of Exchange Server ?

I don't know. It's a third-party hosted Exchange email account. I
put a call into them, but so far no answer..
