You have three different error messages. The easiest one to fix is
the middle one. The server name you have entered, pop3, is not
correct. Change the incoming (POP3) server to mail.comcast.net.

Review all your settings with what your ISP recommends:

For the second message, change the incoming account from POP3 to
mail.comcast.com

Email scanning should be turned off in any anti-virus. Also exclude EML
files from the scan. It provides no
protection not provided by the regular resident protection.
Besides that, McAfee and Norton are not compatible with Windows Mail and
Outlook Express and should be uninstalled. The latest version of Trend's
anti-virus seems to be causing problems too.
