I do have a paid minecraft account. I was playing on a server then I got off that server and tried going on a different server but it said bad login. I tried joining 5 different servers but they all said bad login so I tried restarting minecraft and it says Play Offline instead of just Play. The development console on the launcher says that it can't contact authentication server. I have checked help.mojang.com to make sure everything was fine and it is.

I tried and it says (SocketException: Permission denied: connect)

Something is blocking the connection, like the firewall or the antivirus your using. Try disabling these.

minecraft is allowed through my firewall and I'm using McAfee for my antivirus which I now can cause some problems but this randomly happened as I was playing and I don't understand why it would be that if it hasn't messed anything up before

Aha, thats the problem. When your McAfee went inactive after the trial period, it blocks Minecraft from downloading anything from the website, causing the permission denied: connect error. The best way to solve the problem is by uninstalling McAfee.

got a link to a video or uninstall program?
