Game won't get past Checking Updater

Kaspersky. Probably saw a change in the CoHUpdater file and it won't let it past. Re-add it to your Safe List (or Allowed List, or whatever it's called) in Kaspersky.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
I tried that and still no go.
Do the same with any firewall software, including Windows Firewall. Add it to the safe list.
What exactly happens with the updater? Any error message? Does it just say it's connecting?
We'll see....
It connects and then just stops at Checking Updater. No progress bar, not graphics loading above it. Nothing. I'll try the firewall when i get home tonight.
So I tried to log in tonight for the first time in a couple of weeks and the game won't get past the Checking Updater. Here is the results of the scans.
