My Outlook Express is not working!!!?

Question

I use Windows XP Home Edition on a emachinesT3112. My ISP is Comcast (High-Speed). I use a POP3 incoming mail server and a SMTP outgoing mail server. I recently removed then added again Spybot Search & Destroy 1.4 where I purged: WildTangents, WinSoftware, WinAntiSpyware2006, Windows Security Center AntiVirus/Firewall Disable Notify (should I recover these 4 items?). I normally use McAfee Security (Personal Firewall Plus and VirusScan), should I add my IP address to the list of allowed sites? Will this make a difference, can a firewall affect my Outlook Express? My Outlook Express had been working fine for the 5 months I've had it since yesterday until after I reinstalled Spybot. I can't receive incoming messages or send messages through Outlook Express as I get this error message: An unknown TCP/IP error occurred. Account: 'mail.comcast.net', Server: 'mail.comcast.net', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC40**PLEASE HELP!!!**AS THE REPS HAVE NO CLUE!!!
