New to Java

Hi, I am trying to execute a ready made code to send mail using Java Mail API 1.4 and got an error

Code:

import java.util.Properties;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;

public class SendMailSample {

	public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {

		String host = "smtp.gmail.com";
		String from = "me@gmail.com";
		String to = "you@gmail.com";
		
		// Get system properties
		Properties props = System.getProperties();
		
		// Setup mail server
		props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
		props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
		props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");
		
		// Get session
		Authenticator auth = new MyAuthenticator(); 
		Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, auth);
		
		// Define message
		MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
		message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
		message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(to));
		message.setSubject("Test Mail");
		message.setText("Test Mail");
		
		// Send message
		Transport.send(message);
	}
}

class MyAuthenticator extends Authenticator { 

	MyAuthenticator() { super(); } 

	protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() { 
		
		return new PasswordAuthentication("me@gmail.com", "myPassword"); 
	} 
}

Error:

I know that this is one common error and tried some solutions which I got from googling

1. Disabled port 25 option in McAfee
2. Disabled Norton Antivirus

Still I am getting the same error. Can anyone give me a clear idea how to resolve this issue.

Should I need to disable port 25 option in Norton also??

Many thanks in advance
