What AV are you using? (CRS strikes!)
It's worth trying again after uninstalling the AV and running the manufacturer's cleanup tool

E(vil)Bay is one of the worst places to buy software from. Keep in mind, reviews can be faked and bad ones deleted.

... many fakers have multiple accounts and sell between themselves to pump up the numbers.

Someone once assessed that around 80% of 'new' software on eBay was counterfeit.

If I remember right, it'll be Pro - with a supplementary EULA restricting it to use on the affected machine.
The good thing is that you get the other benefits of it being a Retail license, such as 90 days free MS support for software problems.
