pipelighter Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) All Booted up computer this morning and my anti-vrus (Avast) immediatly flagged up a RED warning. Apparently there was a file in my Steam Directory. Steam/Bin/Filesystem_Steam.dll I have no idea if this is a genuine file; a virus or whatever. I have done a complete boot scan and things appear to be fine. I have loaded up Skyrim (although I use SKSE I am assuming that Steam still cross checks) and it loaded.I do not remember if it was the file itself or whether it was merely affected. All I can say is be careful. If anyone knows anything about this could they publish so other players will not be as frightened as I was. Turns out it was an attachement or something inside the file,. The original file is still in the bin folder and steam/skyrim working fine. Thanks for all the comments etc - carful note made but truthfully I am not 100% convinced. Avast seldom plays me around like this but hey - each experience is new and different. Edited August 5, 2012 by pipelighter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

False positive most probably upload it to virustotal.com and check what other signature engines tell you ;) Edited August 5, 2012 by Gratus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blitzen Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I have my anti-virus configured to not scan files in the steam folder and below to improve performance, so I don't get a warning. I'm also running Avast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
