I've been having a problem with Minecraft that won't let me play (It won't verify my username & password?)
Yesterday it wouldn't let me play online despite the fact that I had a 5-bar connection. I deleted Minecraft and downloaded it and now it can't verify my username and password? When I type them in it says:
"Sorry, but we couldn't connect to our servers. Please make sure that you are online and Minecraft is not blocked (SocketExeption: Permission denied: connect)"
Umm I went to the McAfee page and turned the firewall off and Minecraft works fine - is there any way to let Minecraft work without turning off the firewall?

The white page reads:
My CPU:
Windows 8
Minecraft launcher 1.3.8
Minecraft 1.7.4
Empty .Minecraft folder (why?)
I've Tried:
Letting Minecraft through McAfee
Deleting and re-downloading Minecraft
Updating Java
Uninstalling and reinstalling Java
I don't really want to get viruses, is there any way to let only Minecraft through?
