Thanks! It was indeed Outpost 4 causing it. Even stopping Outpost
didn't fix the problem. Booting to safe mode with networking,
making sure no Outcrap processes was running didn't fix it
either.
It must be starting some hidden process or modifying system files
or something like that. I'm not sure exactly what was causing it
but removing Outpost fixed it. 
Thanks God I was only using the trial.

Mikkel.
