Steam friends is blocked by my antivirus
Every time i open friends list on steam it shows connection error and the "Retry connection" button refreshes but my Nod32 says "URL steam-friends.com is blocked".......
What should I do ?

On the bright side think of all the time you'll save not playing all those multiplayer games.

Same here with https://stream-chat.com. I use ESET.

Likely an issue on ESET's end - try their forums at https://forum.eset.com/forum/30-malware-finding-and-cleaning/

Same here but for https://steam-chat.com. Also using Nod32 Antivirus

yeah, ESET Nod32 currently appears to be falsely flagging it as malicous.. ESET is usually pretty good at clearing up false positives though in signiture updates, give it a day

this would be far far far less frustrating if I could also add this to a safe URL list via ESET and have it actually fix this

probably these domains were used by phishers, now steam owns them but block remains

Same. And if i add it manually to allow it. its still blocks.:sad_creep:

You can. If you go to ESET's setup>Internet Protection>Web access Protection>URL address management>Address List>Edit and select "List of Allowed Addresses">Edit>popup window>Add "https://steam-chat.com"
And it's done - ESET will now allow access to Steam chat.

Ah seems I'm not alone on this. ESET Internet Security here and getting steam-chat.com blocked by AV as well. Better someone file a report to them about this false positive.

Don't know why this is happening, but this can fix it:

Do it for both *steam-chat.com* and *steam-friends.com*

i had the same issue ... called ESET no help .... then i allowed the IP listed with the block and also excluded steam-chat.com and all good
R4to0 Sep 18, 2018 @ 5:18pm 
Emailed ESET right now. Let's see what happens.

i disable web access protection and it fixed my chat problem. wtf is wrong with Eset? can't wait a couple of months to switch to another anti virus.
