You probably need to check the F-Secure manual for details, but
presumably you need to stop the firewall from blocking port 5432 (which
is what PostgreSQL uses).

Can you connect from the maching PostgreSQL is installed on? It would be
unusual if the firewall is blocking localhost.

Oh, and you'll want to make sure the anti-virus scanner isn't scanning
the database folder too. There have been cases where av scanners
interfere with the database.
