If you have just installed Parsec on Windows, but are unable to start it, it may be being blocked in your anti-virus program.
Please allow or unblock the following application in your anti-virus program:
C:\Program Files\Parsec\parsecd.exe
If the problem is downloading or installing Parsec rather than starting it, see Unable to Download or Install Parsec.
This covers the most common cause. If Parsec still won't start after allowing it, submit a request.
