It was working yesterday, but since upgrade today, i get this message.  I can 
send through the webmail for cox but not through live mail.  Any thoughts?

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for 
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of 
inactivity.

Subject 'new test'
Server: 'smtp.west.cox.net'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0F
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 25
Secure(SSL): No

What update?

What AV program are you using?

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant 
layer of protection that eats up CPUs, slows down sending and receiving, 
and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting 
changes and has even been responsible for loss of messages. Your 
up-to-date A/V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For

Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email

Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the 
program and reinstall in Custom Mode and uncheck e-mail scanning when the 
option arises.
