Just wanted to post this in case no one found help. It it the Anitvirus software.

For me all I needed to do was deactivate my anitvirus. Hope this helps.

I solved the error with the kaspersky 2014! You need to deactivate the verification of encrypted conections!
Now have one answer!

That worked for me!
But one problem...
I need to constantly have scanning certificates off to play online with my friends, but my dad is being stubborn and refusing to turn it off because he is afraid I will get a virus. He's telling me to stop being lazy and looking for the easy way out. He told me to search more about the problem, but I have spend hours searching and found nothing. Is there any other way besides disabling scanning certificates to fix this, or will I just have to go without Minecraft until my dad stops worrying (Which will probably be a long time)?

I am just really upset that my dad won't let me play Minecraft because of our antivirus.

How did you fix it?

I have tried everything suggested in this thread & nothingis working!

It worked! Thanks

I'm getting the same error, only without the last 3 lines, and it also says that it didn't find an update in time. The launcher will open, but I get this upon trying to log in:

Sorry, but we couldn't connect to our servers. Make sure that you are online and that Minecraft is not blocked.

(SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target)

Launcher version: 1.4.4 (I haven't been able to download any newer versions)

Antivirus: AVG Free 2014

The problem with that is, there is already a launcher.pack.lzma in the .minecraft folder, do you delete the current one and replace it?
