Have you tried turning off your anti-virus? I've not tested Barrier on Windows 10, personally, but I think it should work.

Northon anything should be considered malware! It bogs down the healthiest of computers and should be removed.
If you gonna use an AV, at least go for something serious. That said Windows itself is providing adequate security these days. We're not living in the 90's anymore.
