when ever i goto check my email it downloads 5 messages then kicks back this error:
Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'mail.comcast.net', Server: 'mail.comcast.net', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '+OK', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

and if i click sent and recieve it downloads the same 5 emails and does it over and over again .

What could this be , i did virus scan , waited all day

This normally indicates a corrupt message on mail server. It times out at the (in your case 6th message) and when you go back again it takes first 5 then times out at 6 again.
Logon to the mailserver through webmail and delete the 5 you already have and the next one in line.
There are several webmail portals you can use if your provider hasnt got one.
