windows mail security

Hi,
Every once in a while I get a popup message while I'm in Windows mail asking
me to log in with my user name and password.
I've checked off the box that says to remember this information, but I keep
getting the popup.
How can I get it to stop?
Tom

Re: windows mail security

That symptom can be caused by interference from an antivirus
program. Which antivirus are you running?
As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus should be turned off,
although that may not be sufficient to eliminate all bad effects.
In a worst case scenario, your antivirus may need to be uninstalled.

Email scanning in any antivirus should be disabled, for reasons
explained here:

If no improvement after disabling email scanning, consider upgrading
to Windows Live Mail, because it is less prone to suffering bad effects
from overly intrusive antivirus programs:
