You can try to clean install a fresh copy after uninstalling the present version via Windows Control Panel Programs and Features. While uninstalling make sure to choose deleting the preferences and folders. Please also see this regarding problems with security software.

To backup important info which can be restored later, please see this. Some of the important files could be places.sqlite which holds the bookmarks and history, key3.db + signons.sqlite which are needed to restore the saved passwords etc.
