Well I'm not going to sleep too soon, so I'll keep helping
Has the machine had any other antivirus or security software on it in the past? Norton in particular is a common culprit. If so, you may want to run the cleanup tool for that.
In either case, the next thing to try would be a winsock reset:
- Click on Start button.
- Type Cmd in the Start Search text box.
- Press Ctrl-Shift-Enter keyboard shortcut to run Command Prompt as Administrator. Allow elevation request.
- Type netsh winsock reset in the Command Prompt shell, and then press the Enter key.
- Restart the computer.

If that fails, try resetting the entirity of TCP/IP:
