Stuck initializing - Checking for Buddy Store products. This may take a while

After the 7.1 update today, HB will not start completely. It says please wait while HB initializes, and at the bottom it says Checking for Buddy Store products. I left it like this for over an hour and nothing. I have tried to delete the HB cache folder but nothing.

I'm getting same thing I get a pop up about discord witch I do not have and the store will not load. so I cant use HB any ideaas

 

I do not get anything about discord. I have discord, but there was nothing popping up about that.

 

Yes, it is still doing the same thing. I have tried three or four times with same result.

 

I have not tried to restart. I will when I get a chance in a little bit. I am out right now. I am from Wisconsin, US.

 

So I tried a restart, and after restart I am still getting the same thing.

 

I also just tried a fresh install of HB and it is also still stuck at the same spot.

 

Yes. That is my next step. I am going to uninstall my a/v.

 

I am sorry for the delayed response. BUt yes I did have an anti-virus that was installed and it had not caused troubles before(after i disabled some parental controls that were preventing auto update). But it was apparently what was causing trouble. I uninstalled it and now HB is running perfectly. Thank you again, and sorry for the delay.
