I have tried the following things:

Uninstalling and reinstalling Java (multiple times)
Disabling anti-virus software, then uninstalling it completely
Deleting the minecraft app folder and data.
Reinstalling Minecraft
Reinstalling .Net Framework
Turning firewall off
Turning off some Skype port protocol
System Restore
There might be a few things I missed but can't remember. Nothing seems to be working. I don't know if I did something wrong with any of the previous stuff I tried, or what. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Go to Start and type in cmd. Right-click the results that appears and click 'Run as administrator', then accept then UAC dialogue.
In the command prompt window, type the following command and press enter:

netsh winsock reset

Once complete, restart your computer and try Minecraft again.
