I'm trying to just open Google website from my java class to test selenium.

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "********\\chromedriver.exe");
// Create an instance of the driver

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

driver.get("http://www.google.com");

Starting ChromeDriver 75.0.3770.90 (a6dcaf7e3ec6f70a194cc25e8149475c6590e025-refs/branch-heads/3770@{#1003}) on port 36521. Only local connections are allowed.

Please protect ports used by ChromeDriver and related test frameworks to prevent access by malicious code.

It is probably outdated driver or "********\\chromedriver.exe" is incorrect path – Myszsoda
possibly a permissions issue. Are you able to launch Chrome manually? – pcalkins
Yes, manually, it works just fine. – geeky_girl
Try download latest version of selenium driver here: sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads. And by the way, you sure your chromedriver was unziped? – Roberto
i have the latest sel driver and yes, chromedriver is unzipped – geeky_girl

It turns out, i had lot of security restrictions on my computer.I had to place the selenium webdriver.exe in a folder where i had full access to it. Thanks to everyone who tried.
