You dont need 3rd party antiviruses, they're scams and they do the exact same thing as windows defender. The more the merrier doesn't go for antiviruses and they're also known to be invasive. Get rid of them and enjoy your games^^

I was going to write the same thing. McAfee, Norton, AVG.

Yikes.

I also experienced the Norton IDP Generic trigger today. I haven't gotten a chance to play the game today until trying to tonight. Now the game has the Error popup: "Couldn't Start" when I try to launch it. Just going to have to wait for the next update hopefully addressing the problem. I'm anxious to get back in to playing.

Those of you who are worried about these antivirus notifications, here's something that'll calm you.

To publish a game on Steam requires quite a bit of work. The developers/publisher firstly have to agree to some terms in which they claim that what they are publishing doesn't have malicious elements.

In addition Steam thoroughly investigates the application before it is published on their store.

Lastly, there are millions of us who go the extra mile and snoop through code for one reason or another. Some to cheat, some to mod, others to mess around in different ways. Something such a virus or anything that could harm your computer in anyway would be identified by somebody and the game would be reported resulting in a quick removal.

Steam doesn't mess around with this stuff so be rest assured, what you're finding is a false positive.

Well your first mistake is using an awful AV like Norton and AVG. Windows defender has come a long way and works just as well if not better than any of the paid AV's.

Norton and AVG are malware. Get rid of those.

You don't have to work for Microsoft to know that Norton and most other paid AV's are just resource hogs and are more hindering instead of helpful, especially when you get constant ads thrown in your face about their product you have a subscription for already.

Norton is the Hulu of AV's. It's just trash.

On top of that Norton loves to say that many games, on STEAM, are virus' Nuclear Nightmare included. In this case it's holding a crucial file hostage, aka quarantine. Plus uninstalling Norton doesn't get rid of it completely, as it leaves several files behind and forces you to use their Norton Removal Tool, which you have to pay for. So yeah how much did Norton pay you guys to protect their shady tactics? It's a virus unto it's self.

What do you do if this doesnt work. Now the game in steam says updated failed and will not do anything else. It shows disk write error.

You need to go into your AV and go to the quarantined files, and make an exception for the file it blocked for this game.
