Can't connect to POP server Since Today's Upgrade

Update happened now I can't connect to my POP server. I have opened ports 110,143,25 in the firewall settings and still can't connect. I have disabled the firewall and still can't connect. I have removed the program and can connect just fine. I have had Total Protection 2010 since 12/29/2009 it worked fine. Today came this update and now!!!!!

Have chatted with tech support to no avail >4hrs.

Any Help would be appreciated.

Hi,

Check the date and time, if it is not correct, correct it and restart the computer


What is the type of Operating system ? ( Windows XP / Windows VISTA / Windows 7 )


What is the type of internet connection ? ( DSL / Dial-up / Cable / Wireless / Satellite )

Are you connected with a router ?

Get back to us with the above details

Hi Gigsley,

Along with the above requested information, please let us know what is the version of McAfee products you have installed ?

Open security center and let us know whether it says Am I protected YES or Your computer is secure ?

Also May I know whether do you receive any error message while connecting to your POP server , if possible try to attach a screen shot for the same.

Note: Moving thread to Antispam 11 - 2010

Regards,

Hi

Did you have any luck with this problem? Sounds like the same thing I'm having and I can't seem to get any response from anyone

What email client are you using to connect to the POP3 account?

Re: Can't connect to POP server Since Today's Upgrade

It took quite a bit of doing to fix my problem. McAfee had to be uninstalled and then the registry cleaned out of any traces of McAfee. Then started over with a fresh install this fixed the problem.

If you are uncomfortable with this you can go online with support and they will have you download a program called "go to assist" which will allow them remote control of your computer so that they may do this process for you. This is done at level 2 support which requires a phone call back at a specific time to initiate the above.

Hope this helps, I know it is not what you wanted to hear.
