HI, well, I have spent the last week trying to fix or repair my
Outlook Express connection. Here is what I did in conjunction with
help from my ISP. I removed and reinstalled IE6 and Outlook Express,
used every antispyware proggie known to get rid of all that junk. I
formed a new identity, changed all the dbx etc. files to negate that
possible problem. In other words, all that can physically be done to
eradicate this error, the 11001 port and the other one, please don't
ask me to look that up again, as I would have to go way way back,
haah!

So, bottom line, none of if worked. I am still getting the error
message when Outlook Express tries to connect but I can hit Send and
Receive and it works, and stays working until I shutdown and then it
occurs as soon as I go online again. Personallly I think it is on my
ISP end, something causing the port to close when going to check new
messages. They say it isn't but how can it be my computer? My
experience is when these routings or rootings get established they
can' t be changed unless a complete wipe of hard drive or some other
drastic measure is taken. So, last appeal, my OS is Windows 98SE, I
connnect via modem. If you can come up with some other method I need
to be making then please direct me. Also, thanks for all the
assistance, much appreciated, Derek

Where did you post your HijackThis log?

Did you turn off email scanning in your anti-virus?

Did you uninstall any anti-spam software?
