Avast issue..

[Unity. Precision. Perfection]

Hi all just came back to my PC with a few alerts from Avast saying:

"We've safely aborted connection to ( (valve2001) steamcontent dot com .. had to write like this so it doenst atually include a link here) because it was infected with VBS: Bicololo-TX

. There was a few of these ... i think like 2-3 (valve2001,2003 etc) and i noticed my steam was indeed updating a few games at the time. Is this simple a false flag or should i be worried? I am doing a full scan right now with Avast & Malwarebytes and i will also do one of those scans it does before you start windows.. just wondering is all thanks

Possibly a Steam content server in which the game files downloads from.

Did your game files still download / update?

Yea i believe so - it seems like it jsut kept doing it until it updated.. i am 99% sure it was either Dota 2 or a Dota 2 workshop update. As i remember at the time it showing one of the examples the same game id for dota 2 .. 570. And when i sat down at the pc to check (i was only gone from it like 5 minutes) dota 2 workshop was updating insanely slowly like 10bytes a second

most likely a false positive if it was standard game files. workshop dunno.

and yes, these are the steam download servers

Well thanks most likely i will scan just to be safe.. i know AV's are not full proof but i assume if it's good enough to claim it detected this specific virus on a connection it would detect it if i actually have it. Thanks all i just get a little over worried about this stuff i guess? i duno have a good day all

Well my avg is going crazy with the same virus but i dont have any update?

[Kize]

Well i removed dota 2 to try it out and seems it was indeed the problem. Tyvm ^^

same and when im reinstall the steam my avast is stopping going with the same virus
best choice maybe its reinstall the steam and dont forget to backup your game first

Same here, it's frozen on downloading Dota2 updates (prolly workshop). Could a map file actually be contamined or is it a false positive?

i have the same problem with Avast antivirus.

[Jwsto]

I think I managed to fix it by unsubscribing to Dota2 workshop content, deleting all Dota2 workshop content from hdd and restarting steam

[yoichi]

what should i do to fix this problem.... i am so clueless

[yoichi]

ok Jwsto i will try it

[yoichi]

Where i can find the workshop content in hdd?
