Avira detect a virus while updating.

[nkpd]

It said chrome_elf.dll is a TR/Egguard.uhdpk.

This is a screenshot of my anitvirus.[puu.sh]

And now I can't update it. Steam said missing file privileges.

Sorry for my bad English.

When you run wallpaper32.exe, it pops up in the tray, correct? And you can right click it and choose a recent wallpaper at least? If even that doesn't work anymore, it could be that the application got "sandboxed", is that something your anti-virus might have done?

[✪ Kara]

nah i can do that but no window will pop up at all

[Biohazard]

Can you open this file directly: bin/ui32.exe? It should pop up a window with a single exit button in the middle.

[✪ Kara]

when i try to it give me the same warning as before that i dont have chrome.elf.dll or whatever

[✪ Kara]

and i've already tried the exceptions for steam and wallpaper engine and it still doesn't work

[Biohazard]

The file should be this one: bin/chrome_elf.dll
Yeah if that one is missing, then the UI and web wallpapers cannot work, so you can watch out for the file for now instead of trying to run the application.

Does avira have a quarantine feature? Is the file in there?

In general the verify feature of Steam should restore the file, but you said it didn't help, right?

I have also sent the file to avira as a false positive by now and all I got back was an automated e-mail that the file is "known clean".

[✪ Kara]

yeah avira does have the quarantine feature. ill try again to see if it works

[✪ Kara]

so i tried to redownload it but as soon as it gets halfway the download stops and when i try to queue it again it just stops and kicks it out of the current download

[Biohazard]

Have you closed it before downloading?

I'm asking to figure out whether it's Steam or avira causing that. If it's still running, then Steam will not be able to handle it sometimes.

[Mystix]

Probably your anti-virus being stubborn and stopping it then.

[Mystix]

But just in case it's something to do with Steam, try closing Wallpaper Engine, from the Steam settings and Downloads option, change the Download Region to something else temporarily, then close and restart Steam and try veirfying the Wallpaper Installation then.

You could also try temporarily close your anti-virus while doing that (up to you though).

[✪ Kara]

wallpaper engine isn't open, and i even tried disabling my anti-virus and absolutely nothing

[✪ Kara]

tried region change an still nothing

[Biohazard]

I guess you could try the one from Steam although it's a different version of Chromium:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\bin\cef\cef.win7\chrome_elf.dll

Avira locks the file chrome_elf.dll I haad to put exceptions in for real time protection and for scanning for the wallpaper engine folder in steam/steamapps/common/wallpaper_engine and the folder steamapps/downloading/431960 and then i had to find the file and use a file unlocker application i found online and set the file to delete when windows restarts and restart my computer only now did it finally update
