...and this only just happened in the last day or two, then your problem is most likely to be the most recent Windows Update. Or, by now (Friday, July 11), the one installed on July 9.
To fix it, remove the update.
Go to Control Panel, Add Remove Programs
Click the option to show Updates in the top corner
Scroll down the list of installed Windows updates and uninstall this one
KB915748.
Then go to Windows Update website and select the option not to download that update again.
The problem is that this update is conflicting with third-party ( not a Microsoft product) firewall programs, especially Zone Alarm.
Microsoft is aware of the problem, but may not be doing anything about it, since this problem benefits their products at the price of your security and convenience.
