Avast detected a virus while i was downloading Source SDK. The file name is Elementviewer.exe and the folder name is steamapps/downloading/211/bin/. I am sure it is a false positive scince it is steam but you never know.

Source SDK doesnt even work anymore anyway.

Use hammer.exe in the bin folder of your game.

Unless you are making a mod

Source SDK doesn't even work anymore, even for mods. And even if it did, it is deprecated and highly recommended to use Source SDK Base 2013.

That looks like a generic signature, so it's very likely a false positive. Some parts of Source, like the file compression and encryption utilities work a lot like the parts of malware that hide the actual malicious payload, so virus scanner tend to go off on those.
