I've had Avast today detect components of Steam as a virus, and obviously this is quite a big blunder on their part as Steam is an extremely well known company. This is causing some annoyance on the Avast forums as well, they need to get this fixed fast: http://forum.avast.c...?topic=102704.0 I've had to disable Avast for now, just to use Steam.
I can't help but feel it has something to do with their name..
Avast! Ye be buying games on steam? Yarr!
Must be this. Couldn’t help myself.
