vrserver.exe being flagged by antivirus

[Hobby Boy]

Today, my antivirus detected the vrserver.exe file Steam\vr\runtime\bin\ as a virus, along with trz61C4.tmp. Is the software actually malicious or is this a false positive from my antivirus?

I'm using Avast 9 with the latest definitions.

..ive had false positives happen before when i downloaded risk of rain once but i just had this happen avast went off so is it a false positive? kinda like someone from valve to confirm :/

I think avast broken up their definitions again, haven't really downloaded anything special today. You can submit false positive through the avast virus lab. I recommend using their webpage.

Try pluggin in a usb device, anything that runs off of usb, and watch the antivirus flag pop up. vrserver is scanning your hardware every time you do that, it's totally malware.

a friend of mine downloaded steam on 2 seprate pcs and that same file was there each time more then likely a false positive but its not needed to run the steam program just wait till avast updates there definitons and the problem will go away in day or 2 its safe to delte the file

My Avast just picked up on this as well, I also went to check my installed tools and odd enough SteamVR says "ready to play", I don't recall ever requesting the install. Looking at the bin folder it's been time stamped right around when I booted up Stem tonight. Everything in the folder looks like it was modified a couple days ago.

Is Steam pushing this VR app automatically? Regardless I am just going to uninstall it.
