localhost is by default an IPv6 address since Windows Vista ( ::1 ) It's not 127.0.0.1 anymore.

You have to handle IPv6's local addresses, or type 127.0.0.1 directly to force the use of IPv4, or change the hosts file in etc/drivers to reconfigure Windows' default behavior.

Now your problem is linked to the use of a proxy server. If you go to the Internet parameters, you may see there's a proxy configured. Add 127.0.0.1 as an exclusion.

Edit: I also remember that McAffee uses the port 8080 for its own antivirus service. Your application is probably conflicting the AV. You'll have to use another port or uninstall McAffee.
