Norton is messing with Minecraft

Ok.

 

Firstly, I am the kid playing Minecraft. Not the adult trying to get it to work.

My dad recently installed Norton /w Saftey Minder. (Newset version of both)

 

When I try and play Minecraft in multiplayer I am unable to.

I am also unable to connect the the news feed or update the game.

 

I get this error when the program tries to get the news feed:

 

<html><body><font color="#808080"><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><center>Failed to update news<br>java.net.SocketException: Permission denied: connect</center></font></body></html>

 

I feel that Norton is messing with the program.

I got my dad to allow the program through the firmware, but the problem persists.

 

When it is disabled, I am am able to play in mulitplayer, get the news feed and update the game.

Please help!

 

 


 

In an idea to try and fix the problem, I updated Java.

The result was the opposide. Minecraft no longer loads.
