Why Latex crashes when using \usepackage in windows

Today I had this problem again and seemed to be because latex usually downloads automatically the packages that it doesn't have. However, in windows when Latex doesn't have the rights, it won't download this files because windows might block this process thinking is a a virus.
One way to fix this is by running Latex as administrator. This is done by right clicking on the application and choose "run as administrator"
I hope this helps
