    Try the following steps to resolve the problem:

    Method 1: Temporarily disable any security (including firewalls) software and check if the problem persists.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

    If disabling the security software solves the problem, then contact the manufacturer of the specific security software to fix the problem.

    Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable
    your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are
    connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
