In the past I'd experienced problems installing pp on windows in a corporate environment, caused by over sensitive AV/Security software. Once resolved the exes generated didn't exhibit the problem you're experiencing, but it's not unheard of:

I trust you've ensured that the machine itself has no underlying infection? Also, which version of perl do you have installed (AS/Strawberry, x86/x86_64?)
