Technical Help and a facepalm moment

I would get rid of the security suite, restart and give maple a go after.

Did that and it worked, though in the brief time I was firewall-less it seems my yahoo email was used to spam...
I think I have a workaround though, on my old laptop I found the install for the 2008 version of CA ISS and it worked (once so far).
Suggestions for a good alternative Virus/Firewall package? I don't mind paying for one but I am not going to use Norton EVER =P

Perhaps try disabling the UAC? It worked for me.

What other errors were you getting? I also sometimes get one that tells me Themida isn't working (or something)
