I've noticed other people having this problem and I've tried using some of the suggestions made however none have been working for me. Anyone else have any other ideas?
I've uninstalled and re-installed Java about 5 times and made sure it's working properly, which it is.
I have Norton 360 on my computer and I've tried disabling it before I've tried to install Minecraft but it still won't work.
Also made sure my date and time are correct on my computer.

Minecraft does not have write permissions for some reason on the folder it wants to store data to.
Are you on an administrator account?
If so, try running Minecraft as an admin by right clicking -> Run as admin.
Otherwise, if that doesn't work,
You may need to try running Minecraft with a blank slate.
To do this, press your Windows+R keys, type in %AppData% at the dialog, and press Enter. In the window that appears, find the directory called .minecraft and right-click it to rename. Rename it to oldminecraft.
Try the launcher again.
If that didn't work, see the change directory part in this article.
