already posted all over the forum...
and some say a updated fix was just released

It's a false positive.
There was a thread on it here a few minutes ago, but somehow it vanished.
Just put the steam-folder on the exception list of your file-shield for now or switch the whole thing off until it gets sorted out.
3rd time in a month that something like this happens. begins to get on my nerves.
DON'T use the exception list in your general settings, this one won't work as it's just for the planned scans and the file-shield will ignore it.

i got the stream update 16:04:11 but avast scans tier0_s.dll as malware

Some have been corrected in streaming updates, the tier0_s.dll tier0_s.dll one is still outstanding.
