I guess you were running trial version of the software. Try to activate it using the product key.

Your best bet would be to check with the IT department of your company. I still believe that its got something to do with the license.

All said, are there any warning/error messages from the software?

There can be two possibilities. Either the software is not properly installed and/or got its executable file corrupt or the virus protection on your windows is disabled.

As biggie said, check with your IT department.

What OS are you running? And, do you scan with administrator privileges or just a limited user account? With the latter, it is possible that a scanner's functions can be restricted a bit (like being unable to remove viruses from system folders, etc).
