Outlook EMail Settings Problem

[LRABT]

My internet email POP settings have a problem. Every day my incoming mail POP server settings move to my login box and the word local host shows up in my incoming mail server box. This occurs sporatically and is a real pain. Any suggestions??? Virus??

What anti-virus have you got? Norton?

I was using Norton but it seems to be unable to search out any new viruses even with the Live Update. I switched to Trend Micro's PC Cillen and have run several deep scans to no avail.
