Whenever I run any version of Minecraft in the New Minecraft Launcher Version (2.0.729) It says "Unable to save download" I've tried everything Re-Installing Minecraft Repairing It but nothing works

Please Help Can't Play Minecraft Right Now Due to this

Caused by AV, mcafee, or Avast + something else, and one with kaspersky from what we seen.

So I have to remove my security protection for minecraft? That is absurd. I am having the same problem as this guy on windows.

What antivirus you have? Because those are known to interfere with minecraft, blame the AV manufacturers

Norton, also I never had this problem with the old launcher. This new one was a terrible decision and it's making me pissed.
