Issues with Avast and Steam
« on: March 24, 2012, 07:54:44 PM »
I just got the internet set up at my new place, but now every time I try to open Steam, Avast flags it as malware.  I've tried marking it as a false positive twice now, but it continues to constantly pop up messages and set off alarms telling me that a virus has been detected.  I've googled it and found that I am not the only one having this problem, but havent been able to find a solution.  Is there any?

That was a FP.
