Can't access Hotmail--Why?

I have problem. First let me say that because of a virus, I had to
use LSPFix, Bazooka, NewNet, HijackThis, SpyBot, Spywareblaster,
Stinger, CWShredder, and Ad-Aware SE Personal to rid my system of an
unwanted virus. Now I'm having problems with control issues, I can't
control what my IE Browser does, e.g. something is correcting my
homepage, if I change it, it's automatically changed back to MSN; some
pages, e.g. Excite.com, because it's a known Adware and Spyware
danger, I can't even access, and I keep getting message that send me
to Tools, Internet Options, Privacy or whatever, but still I can't
access certain web pages or features. As pertains to Outlook 2003 and
Outlook Express, recently I lost my ability to access Hotmail.com. As
you know, Outlook Express has a feature that allows one to have their
Hotmail downloaded automatically, but for the past two days, and I'm
not sure what I did, other than I did go into Spybot, trying to
understand it better, and made some changes. The result is, whether
it's Spybot, or a combineation of Spy and Adwares I've been using to
protect my system, that when I run Outlook Express, or even Outlook
2003, I receive this message:

"Unable to poll for new messages on your HTTP server. Account:
'Hotmail', Server: 'http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp',
Protocol: HTTPMail, Server Response: 'Authorization Required', Port:
0, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC32." quotation marks are
mine.

And/or:

I get the LOGON HOTMAIL popup box, Server, User name, and Password,
which are all correct, but they won't go through and access the
server. What's wrong?

And that single Error Message is after I deleted my hotmail account on
Outlook Express, rebooted, then re-enter the account hoping that
re-installation of my account would clear things, but it only changed
to one Error Message, where prior, Express would run the "Logon
Hotmail" popup window showing the Server address and asking for my
User Name and Password, as I tried to get past that by re-entering
info, Outlook Express would run through and give Error Message for
each Synchro item, such as all the folders I had checked, but after
deleting the accoutn and re-entering it, I get only one Error Message
listed above.

Bottom line, I can't use Outlook Express or Outlook 2003 to access my
Hotmail account and the Error Message above, after deleting and
re-entering Hotmail, is the only Info I get. I can access Outlook,
but because I have Hotmail enter as an account, I get this Error
Message. CAn anyone help?
