Look at the list of your installed software and ask yourself, which of them
could impose additional restrictions on low-level API's?

Various would-be-"antiviruses", "antihacking" and "firewall" applications are
ready candidates for investigation.

P.S.
If you have an hour to spare, you could try installing your OS in a VM and
check in there.
