Copy and paste everything on the screen where you see the 'fatal error' message in a reply.

Alrighty. I'll have to do this tomorrow since I'm about to go to work but I'd like to thank you guys for trying to help this fast.

OK cool beans; it would also help if you tried all this stuff. Because it might fix the problems, and if it doesn't, at least we know where you're at.

So I did a lot of those steps (I checked my internet status, I reset my internet, turned off all forms of computer protection, deleted the whole .minecraft folder) and none of those helped. I'm about to grab the whole error report for you guys

Thank you as soon as I have a chance I'll try these and let you know

Would the windows update also not allow the feed the beast mod pack and tekkit mod packs to say they are offline as if mojang was down?

So guys I've been trying to do any windows update there may be but it keeps saying the service might be down. Restart your computer.
And then for the turning any anti-virius system off I think I did that correctly but it still didn't work
