2 possibilities that I can think of
(1) Your Anti Virus is set to scan incoming and outgoing emails
(2) SMTP port number or SMTP address is wrong
587 is right.
Disabling the AV is unlikely to be enough for Norton or McAfee
both of while need to be uninstalled completely, pierced through
the heart with a wooden stake, shot with a silver bullet
and buried in a garlic coffin.
Avast -
http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html is fine
but that too should have email scanning disabled.
