Avoid ANY security software you EVER see advertised on TV. Period.
That being said... it sounds like a software firewall issue almost entirely, however you said you attempted to disable them. Whether you did so properly or not is the real question. If you started installing third party firewall software I can't really help you however you can still verify that your windows firewall isn't getting in the way by disabling that temporarily and seeing if that alleviates anything.
ensure that you aren't using any specific proxy settings for your old software and run some anti-malware programs.
