ESET NOD32.

ESET NOD32.

That one is on the list. In bold, and with a green symbol.

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=9828-SFLZ-9289

I have seen other posts about it being problematic with Steam also.

This program is also listed there ....ESET Smart Security.

Never had any issues with ESET NOD32. The only issues that can be caused can be caused by any antivirus is false detection, something not unique to NOD32.

Smart Security is the same except with more features that aren't really THAT necessary to your computer.
@°•👽 Louna 👽•°

Fair enough, but I just thought OP should have the option to know about it being known to be problematic with Steam, according to the list.

While the list is listing most if not all the popular and effective antivirus. :steamsalty: :D

The list is also VERY vague.
Issues can be also be simple caused by heuristic scan.

But hey, much easier to add to exception list that game file that is detected accidently due to the file signature being incorrect you'll discover for the first time after several years than having ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of infections huh?

It was never my intention to derail this thread, but no, it is not always only false detection when those antivirus programs are only causing issues with Steam, as I have seen many cases here that are contrary to that. And making exceptions does not always work. Norton is one of the worst ones according to what I have seen, for example, and that one is not even in bold and with a green symbol.

I was just wanting to pass on accurate info for the OP so he/she goes into deciding what antivirus to go with as being better informed. It was never my intention to call you out on anything here or try to start an argument at all, with all due respect, so thanks for your comments here and helping in the forums, too.

That lis is old and actually list most popular and effective anyway.
Follwoing this list would only lead him to get a poor underground antivirus that gets updated only one per year.

You keep pointing me to this list to convince him to not get biggest antivirus softwares yet you never said WHICH issues NOD32 or any others have to the point of not using it.

Issues happen with EVERY antivirus/antispyware.
If it don't, it's seriously having a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ or disabled heuristic scan and or simply barely scan anything specially in real time.

Don't you have the phone thing? I am sorry for you. I hope he will get his incoming retribution. Soon or later. You should also become wiser from this lesson. I am pretty sure I did.

The Steam Mobile Guard thing is effing useless as it never reach email AND the other way is via forced SMS activation, not everyone has phones lol
It is far from useless - ;please don't give duff advice.
If you don't see the email then it's likely in the spam folder. This is a KNOWN issue with Valve and emails. If that doesn't work, you can always add Steam to the email providers address book. That usually sorts it out.

It does in NO WAY render the thing useless - it STILL blocks out the offender.

Although I would add to the point that the OP does need to make sure they have effective antivirus and antimalware. I'd recommend something simple and straightforward such as AVG free and Malwarebytes antimalware.

And indeed, OP, if you're getting false positives, then the antivirus is doing it's job - that's the point. Better that it's over-zealous than vice versa.

All I can really do after these posts is suggest MalwareBytes and Avast, both darn good, even in free version.

Indeed. Most of the well-known antiviruses are as suitable as one another - it usually just boils down to personal preference.

However there are certain ones you should avoid such as Norton (becuase it often has issues with Steam) or Windows Security Essentials (which is renowned for missing nasty stuff).

I wouldnt recommend malwarebytes cause it uses quite a lot of cpu. Im using panda security and so far it didnt let me down

Well, frankly, that's wrong.

The issue there is that YOU have an issue with it using CPU for some reason, not a problem with malwarebytes. It works fine for others including me - I'm waiting to get a couple of news PCs for the home so have cobbled together a rather old and lacklustre 1.8Ghz lump for the time being. It runs malwarebytes fine.

And besides, it's pretty much a moot point. What do you expect an intensive scanner to do? It's going to take time and use resources in any case, and that DOES NOT say anything about how effective it is.

The fact remains that malwarebytes is VERY effective, especially when dealing with Steam users. The evidence of the last 5 years on these forums is pretty clear.

However, Panda might be fine too. But I have no experience of that.
