ADT does not load target platforms even if they are installed. How to Fix?

Symptoms:

I encountered this problem when I was creating a new Android Application project in eclipse.

I was not allowed to go past the first screen of the new project wizard because of "A package name cannot start or end with a dot"

So I started googling around and tried a lot solutions from SO and other sites.

One of the associated problem (which I hadn't realized) was that Target Platforms list was empty, the last time I tried it had loaded fine but not anymore.

SDK Manager said platforms were installed and up to date. No updates were there for ADT, SDK Tools, or Eclipse.

Problem:

In Eclipse, Windows > Tools > Preferences > Android the path was set properly but no targets would load.

My System configuration is:

Enabling "windows->preferences->startup and shutdown->android development toolkit" really helps.

I tried all the solutions on the web. It took me a day's time to find the working solution.

So here's the solution:

DISABLE YOUR ANTIVIRUS!

Antivirus I'm using:

Kaspersky Internet Security 2013

This was the least expected of solutions, I know.

I chanced upon this while I was about to re-install SDK.

Update: This solution failed to work on another system. So this is what worked.

1) In eclipse, Go to windows->preferences->startup and shutdown->check android ADT

2) Restart eclipse

I used to disable all the things in startup and shutdown as this used to make eclipse much much faster. This never created a problem before.

However all is well again ^_^
