I know my laptop is not exactly new, and it is well used. I have been able to play minecraft perfectly before, so I have done some googeling, and tried what I found, I have uninstalled AVG as some said that blocks it. I have tried to reinstall minecraft several times. but none of these things work. I also found somebody finding the problem after Hijackthis scan so here is the result I got from it: http://pastebin.com/Reg0cP5U
I was not able to understand from it what the problem was.
You need to reinstall Java.
First, go to the Programs and Features in Control Panel. Uninstall everything that says Java in the name. Then, go to http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp to re-install Java.
