The user name stays the same but additionally has the POP3 address added to the name - 'joe bloggs pop3.nasty'. I have seen a few of those nasty alternative E Mail sights do this, but this does it after the hard drive has been reformatted. The machine has PC Cillin that is updated every other day, so I do not think it could be a virus. Any ideas, its most suspect that it redoes the pop3 address everytime the machine is rebooted even after reformatting the hard drive.	Guest (0)

It'll be your antivirus software redirecting your emails through itself before it goes to Outlook so that it can scan your emails for viruses as they come in. It's perfectly harmless. It has been known to cause problems (usually with older Norton's Antivirus) that causes emails not to come through, but usually this is just fixed by disabling email scanning, and then enabling it again. HTH Mike.	Guest (0)
