McAfee, for one. You posted this a week ago:

Two of the three responses you got (mine, and one other) told you to dump
McAfee. It is junk. Just get rid of it, and be done with it. Don't
substitute Norton.

Get AVG, Avast, or Avira. Whichever you get, use the "Custom Install"
feature, and don't install the email scanner component; you don't need it,
and MSOE hates it.

By the way, if you have email in your "Outbox", but your correspondents
have
received same, you may have a corrupt "Outbox", or even a corrupt "Sent
Items" folder. MSOE is good for such corruption of the default folders:

Inbox.dbx
Outbox.dbx
Deleted Items.dbx
Sent Items.dbx
Drafts.dbx

The way to fix that is to move any email you don't want to lose out of the
affected folders (Outbox and Sent Items). Then close MSOE. Then go to your
message store and delete the relevant folders (Outbox.dbx and Sent
Items.dbx). Then restart MSOE. The deleted folders will be recreated.

If you read these groups long enough, and with enough curiosity about
other
people's problems, you will, eventually, find a number of articles posted
by
PA Bear and Bruce Hagen regarding the hazards of archiving email in the
default MSOE folders.

Oh yes. And don't trust the software your ISP wants to push on you. They
will only offer what they get a good deal on, not what is best.
