Everything is Offline?!

[BERD Studios]

Hello, I need some help... I got a new laptop and downloaded the technic launcher, but I seem to keep getting the modpacks marked as offline and the search bar in the launcher refuses to look for any new ones... It worked a few times, but only for a minute or so. Any Ideas?

Here is the log on startup:

Error code 403 means forbidden, so it's likely there's a security block in place from one end or the other.  I'm guessing it's yours, as in a firewall or AV software noticed that Java was attempting to install things and shut it down.  It's also possible you aren't logged into MC correctly, but I'd favor the first option.  Check your security software (or hardware if your router is prone to being overzealous).
