Windows Mail Can't Send

[Charlie]

I am using Microsoft Windows Mail and Comcast is my provider. Comcast said
to change from port 25 to port 587 and check the box that says "my server
requires authentication". When I did that, I can send but when I close
Windows Mail and reopen it later on, the settings have defaulted back to port
25. How canI get the new settings to stay there? Thanks

One or more options/settings in an ever-growing number of third-party
applications may be disallowing the changes from "sticking." These include
anti-spyware applications (e.g., Ad-aware's Ad-Watch, Spybot Tea Timer,
SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper, Spyware Doctor, CounterSpy, WinPatrol, etc),
anti-virus applications & security suites (Norton, McAfee, ESET/NOD32,
Kasperky, Trend Micro, etc.), and third-party firewalls (e.g., Zone Alarm,
etc.).

Note that temporarily disabling the application(s) or rebooting into Safe
Mode may not disable the application's system protections.
