Minecraft 1.6 Crashes upon opening launcher AND crashes my internet

Hello staff members, and I hope you can help out a bit.

Ever since 1.6.x has come out(all versions) I have downloaded the launcher and tried to play. Every time the error I get takes awhile, and crashes my internet upon directly clicking the application. A bit of background this has been happening ever since 1.6 came out, and hasn't changed with any update. As of right now I have java 7 installed, but the issue started before it was installed, and continued after it was installed. My firewall is also disabled and I don't know of any security permissions that are set to keep me from downloading.

So, here it is. Also, I know I have seen similar errors, but none that also crash their internet and minecraft
