[Solved] Problem with new Update and Virus Message!

[SnagZ2K]

I am using Bitdefender right now, I was deleting Avira.
- now everything works fine.

About the VAC Messages that some of you got.
- You got the VAC Message telling that you are not allowed to play on VAC Servers until you have the working or right signature files, that means that your files are not getting checked because Avira was blocking your Download of the new CSGO.exe and Files, Avira is telling you that the exe got an TR/Dropper.GEN that is a wrong Message, it is only on Avira!!!, please do not connect on VAC Server if you didn't updated the files correctly, Avira is blocking some Files.

If you are able to connect with the old/blocked Files you are about to get an VAC Ban on VAC Server, make sure that you Update CSGO correctly, but if you can open CSGO, they will tell you on a Popup that you're about to get an VAC if you join Secured Server.

Steps I have done:
1.I removed Avira from my System using "Bitdefender" right now.
"Why I am using Bitdefender? Because sometimes Avira is giving you false positive."
-CSGO.exe and some Files got blocked, that means VAC is not on secure mode for the old Files, and you're not allowed to join a Server, without getting banned."

2.I was reinstalling CSGO after I deleted Avira and Installed Bitdefender, make sure that the new Files are working, if you open CSGO and no Popup will appear with the Message "Insecure" you can play on VAC Server for sure, but just make sure you got the new Files and the Update is not getting blocked by your Antivir Program.

Instruction:
- Go to the Location of your Antivir "Avira" deinstall it maybe look for another Antivir like "Bitdefender", or set the Folder Steam to a Safelocation on Avira.

- Go to the Steam Games right click on Counterstrike Global Offensiv and check the Files/Restore it.

- After you done it keep on to Update CSGO, please make sure that your Avira is not checking the Steam Folder, or maybe install another Antivir and deinstall Avira.

All you have to do ist just getting the Steam Folder on the Safelist of Avira, or search for another Antvir Software and remove Antivir like I did removed Avira installed Bitdefender, remove CSGO or Restore/Repair it, and Update it again.

If this all is working for you please comment and Push the Thread for another People to get this fixed.

Hello,

Well this fix is way to much to be honest, just add the exceptions

- Open Avira

- Bottom left go to settings

- select exceptions

What i did:

- add "C:\Program Files\steamapps\" for the scanning process

- add "C:\Program Files\steamapps\downloading\730\csgo.exe" for the processes

- restart pc

- Launch update again and it works fine

reboot your system, the files might be blocked by avira for you current session, and if it wont help try to reinstal on another drive (if possible)

Thanks. Reinstalling the game on a different harddrive.

for me it says disk write error.....

Befor you reinstall on another drive, make sure, that the new steam folder is on the whitelist, else it might get the problem again. (and dont delete the file in avira quarantine if it gets detected again, restore it and set it on whitelist) else it will be blocked again
