This is the part where we ask you to uninstall all the invasive hooking type software you might have on your machine, such as firewalls, on-access virus scanners, content indexers, etc. Basically anything that might have to hook into the network stack or that might want to get involved every time a file is accessed. Also logitech webcam software for some bizarre reason, and all the other stuff on DaveK's list of nasty software. I seem to remember problems just like yours being caused by certain versions of Embassy Trusted Security or whatever it's called. You have to uninstall these programs - merely disabling them isn't enough to remove their hooks.
