EOS Utility crashes Windows firewall

Hello.

I bought a 70D a few days ago and wanted to try the wi-fi function today.

I downloaded and installed the latest software for my camera from the Canon support site.

 

 

Im having the following problem with the software.

 

 

 

When i run EOS Utility I get the following message:

-To connect to the camera via LAN, some Windows Firewall settings must be changed. Do you want to make these changes?

 

I click yes and get the next message:

-WFT FirewallSettings has stopped working. 

 

The next message i get after i click on close program says:

Could not change the Windows Firewall settings.

 

 

 

I tried adding the EOS utility and EOS utility 2 manualy, and allowed acces, but it still doesnt work.
