Nothing complicated: enter the website, download the version with the complier, install Code::Blocks, try to build and run the "Hello World" program, which is already included in Code::Blocks.
So I downloaded, installed, set the settings as required, spent hours trying to figure out the problem with no results.
And I don't know how much clearer I can make this, I really don't.
I. Can't. Build. And. Run. The. Program.
When I click "build" or "build and run", it just shows me this message in the build log:
----------- Build: Debug in Project (compiler GNU GCC Compiler) ------------

That's it, end of story. Nothing else happens. I don't know what else you expect me to write. There is nothing else. I click, the message appears on the bottom part of my screen in the build log window and that's it. Nothing else happens.

Post a screen shot.  Press the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard when that is shown and open a paint program and paste that into a new image.  Then upload the image to a image host and give the resulting link here.  Open up Settings -> Compiler -> Toolchain Executables, and take a screen shot of that too and post the link here.  You are either just "building" without running the program, or your toolchain is not configured properly.  But, Python..

The first link is to the program with the build log message, and the second is to the Toolchain Executables.
Again, it's not a problem that should even be happening.

Did you reboot your computer as I suggested?

If you did, the likely cause is anti-virus software on your computer.

I second the anti-virus possibility.  I've never run into it myself but I definitely recall reading about it somewhere.  Check your anti-virus' "quarantine vault" or like and see if your programs ended up there.

CrumblingAway:
Rebooted, several times even, and as far as I can see, it hasn't been quarantined by the anti-virus.
