in my case none of the above worked, then i found out my windows firewall did not work either. i scoured the net with all the error codes and this solved all my problems.

Try this repair tool ...I hope it works.
It registers pretty all system components related in any way to security and firewall settings, also it re-creates all rules and rights for dirs and registry keys.
