One fine day, I find that the Calibre I have installed on my Windows 8 machine is no longer able to access internet or my C drive. All my news subscriptions hang (Economist, for instance) and when I try to drag and drop a epub into Calibre, it shows the "not allowed" symbol (circle with a cross bar). When I try to add books using the Add Books option and say "single directory", at the point where I want to access C drive, it says "permission denied". I am the administrator of the laptop account and am using the admin account.

What could be the reason? I am technical but not too technical. Any help would be awesome.

I tried to uninstall and reinstall Calibre with no success. The problem persists.
