I am glad that I found this thread!!! I thought that I was going bananas. I
downloaded and installed the abovementioned patches on Friday night and have
been encoutering "Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error:
10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E" since then.

I have MS Win XP Pro SP2, Outlook Express 6.0 and Norton 2006 12.7

Have been contemplating dumping Norton AV and going to a combination of AVG
and Avira.

XOXOXO to all on this thread. And to Carole, great observation about
unloading AV s/w before downloading updates.

For those who are just joining this thread, I don’t know how long Bruce’s
fix will keep. We’ll just have to wait until the next Patch Tuesday. I’m
glad he reminded me that most software companies advise to uninstall your AV
before downloading programs. It didn’t occur to me that this would be
necessary with Windows Update, but now it all makes a lot of sense. Haven’t
got a clue as to why it took so long for the problem to occur??? I’ve been
running Norton since Windows Update began.
