Outlook Express fails to retain POP3 settings

I'm posting this for a friend.

He has a new PC that has allowed him to check his mail without problems but in the last week has found that he cannot access his email account without finding that the POP3 incoming mail has defaulted from 'mail.btopenworld.com' to 127.0.0.1 in the POP3 inbound mail box.

He can reset things back to normal and check his account without problems but on restart finds that the 127.0.0.1 has returned to the inbound mail setting.

Running Spybot had revealed some spyware that was placing registry entries in internet settings but removing these has not corrected the problem.

Any help would be apprieciated.
