AVG and AVAST have good anti-virus programs that are free. I suggest changing to one of those.

Download the new program. Disconnect from internet. Completely remove your present antivirus. Then install the new one. Re-connect to internet and update it. Then of course scan your system.

Once that's done, we'll take a look at your e-mail problem. If we get it fixed and you switch anti-virus, we'd need to fix it again. It MAY get fixed with antivirus install.
