Apps [newbie] stupid install question, urgent help needed

Hi Everyone, I am new to the forum.

Came here because I am facing a seriously stupid problem with Android development.

While I start to learn Android programming, bought a book, followed the instruction, downloaded Eclipse, SDK, ADT, AVD, all that good stuff. wrote a hello world, run as application, yes it works.

Then came the nightmare.

and I start to change the layout main.xml, put in a few textboxes, labels, rerun.

and absolutely nothing changed.

And then I tried everything, searched through forums, build automatically, clean project, change the project version in the manifest, in the DDMS set the ADB connection timeout to 1000 ms (yes, and I waited like 1 minute before starting the new one), deleting the old AVD, build a new AVD, delete the whole project, start again, uninstall AVD, uninstall the SDK, uninstall Eclipse (the only think I didn't do seemed to be uninstalling windows). Problem still persists, nothing worked. After the first build, the whole application always stayed the same, never change a bit, whatsoever I do to all the source code files.

I noticed in the console, the first time I run a project as a application, the console actually had a line like

"install *****.apk on the device"

However in all the subsequent runs, it syncs, starts post compiler, all the log,s just without the damned "install ......apk" line, and I suspect that is the whole problem. More than 48 hours of my time had been spent on this absolutely stupid problem. I am experienced in php, asp, sql, jquery, java, vb developing, I love google and hate i-devices, but this is just one big stupid question that I cannot get rid of in order for me to do something that I enjoy. Help towards this problem will be very much appreciated, if anyone knows what my problem, please tell me, it is driving me crazy. Yes, you can teamviewer my computer, My teamviewer version is 7, and I am in Hong Kong.

I am feeling like an established football player that goes down the pitch for football practice but instead stuck at gardening the pitch forever, to prepare it for my practice!!

just some more info for you:
Windows: Win7 ultimate 64bit
Eclipse: Indigo SP1 (English)
internet security suite: COMODO (could this be causing the problem)
