Hello,

I used the combo installer, no antivirus installed and windows defender & firewall disabled.

Is the postgresql service running?
Can you connect via pgadminIII?

Manually install PostgreSQL with the 8.4.8 installer from PostgreSQL: The world's most advanced open source database (http://www.postgresql.org)

As a non computer guy that site is very confusing to me.
Where do I go to actually download the 8.4.8 installer?

After reinstalling PostgreSQL 5 times in 5 different ways, I finally got it to work.
First I followed the complete faq, which didn't really do anything.
Using the combo installer and only selecting postgreSQL did the trick for me.

Download PostgreSQL | EnterpriseDB (http://www.enterprisedb.com/products-services-training/pgdownload)
