after sending an email they are not being 'sent' to the recipient, they are
going to the 'Outbox' in 'my computer' . this start over the last week. the
only thing new i have done on my computer is remove a program called 'Avira"
and installed McAfee.
I can no longer send emails out through MSN Explorer

1st see if you have a stuck email in your Outbox that is holding up everything
trying to go out

2nd Disable you email scanning feature in your McAfee by uninstalling McAfee and
then re-installing it without the email integration (scanning) option.

3rd Why in the world did you change from Avira one of the better AV's to McAfee
which creates issues and is one of the worst AV programs available

Does "McAfee Security Center--MSN Edition" ring a bell? It's free to MSN
users. Qwest subscribers have a choice of Windows Live OneCare or McAfee.
In Spanish we call this "entre la espada y la pared", but seriously, you
don't have to uninstall McAfee to disable email scanning. Just start up the
Security Center, press Configure and then Email & IM. I don't think that
McAfee scans http mail like what MSN Premium Email client uses, but I could
be wrong.

Disabling email scan in the AV software or disabling the MSN addin for
av scanning isn't always effective because the AV software hooks into the
mail API, not MSN. In this case, the AV software needs to be uninstalled and
reinstalled without the option for mail integration enabled. Note that some
of the newer AV software doesn't allow you to not install integration, only
disable it. (And when its disabled, it keeps reminding you that its
disabled.)
