Hey guys. I am having a BIG problem. My Minecraft was not working earlier (Like 1 year ago) so I downloaded another. I get this error: Bootstrap (v5)

Hi,

It seems that you have a firewall blocking Minecraft.

Try to disable your antivirus and or firewall, then try Minecraft.

If it does not work, please do the following;

Trend Micro HijackThis is an utility that is used to collect diagnostic reports of your computer to help narrow down an issue you may be having.

First, download the file here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/hjt/

Run the program, you will get a prompt, choose "I accept", then press "Do a scan and save a log file".

After a while a text file will open.

Copy everything, put the log on http://gist.github.com/ and give us the link.

Okay, I will be back to you in a day.

I downloaded the Launcherpack.lzma and I put it in the empty .minecraft folder. The launcher works!!! It's working, but it says:
Sorry, but we could not connect to our servers. Please make sure that you are online and Minecraft is not blocked
