bug with Windows Vista

[eman85 eman85]

Probably after an update of Windows Defender in Windows Vista the JDBC connection to MySQL has given up working, even for applications that have always worked until now.

I got the following exception stack:

com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.CommunicationsException: Communications link failure

What should I do? All my applications that have always worked now are completely dead, and I'm sure I have modified nothing.

Thanks in advance.
