Help: Avast thinks Steam is a virus

Hi,

I have been using Avast for several years without any trouble but today the wheels have come off. I have version 4.7 and it now believes that Steam is a Trojan Horse and has blocked me from opening the application. Windows is informing me that I do not have permission to access the steam.exe file.

Has anyone encountered this problem before? Can anyone offer any help? I had been looking forward to an evening of gaming but now I can’t load any of my games. Help would me much appreciated.

Kind regards

You need to upgrade to Avast 6. Updates for 4.7 has been discontinued.

Or, at least, get 4.8 version.

woa…you are late with program updates, avast 4.8 was released 29th March 2008 ;D
and latest version now is 6.0.1000 :wink:
