Please top-post your replies to me.
Glad to hear it seems to be working.
Windows Defender is not a firewall, it's an anti-spyware program.
As of recently Trend is known to cause problems.
Replace Trend with the free AVG
http://free.grisoft.com/ or Avast
http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html, and Windows Firewall and Windows
Defender. Disabling Trend is not enough. You need to completely uninstall
it.
