I had the same problem.
See later thread from John Bonner
Make sure you have your own firewall installed and running.
Go to Control Panel/Administative Tools/ Services
Double-click on Services.
Srroll down to find Security Centre.
Right-click on this and select Properties.
In Startup Type select Disabled.
This it the only thing that worked for me and it is safe to do it.
