avg removed gmod hl2 .exe

[Duck]

i was playing gmod and i just loaded up a server and avg decided it would remove my gmod hl2.exe how do i get it back so i can continue playing? hopefully without downloading anything.

Try this:

In your library, right click on Garry's Mod > Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of the game cache

Look in the quarantine part of AVG to restore it & set AVG to ignore the file in the future.

That.

I would probably whitelist GMod (and other Steam-games) to avoid these kind of situations in the future. Unless you have payed for AVG, you might want to consider switching to Microsoft Essentials - I personally prefer that to AVG.

i did the verify thing and it says the 2 missing files will be downloaded but the download finishes and it just pauses and if i hit resume it does the same thing over and over

if it means anything when i try to play with the update done just paused it comes up with disc read error

Have you tried to restart Steam - and eventually your computer? I know this sounds like a stone-age tip, but honestly, restarting sometimes solves everything! If that doesn't work, then you might have to re-install Garrys Mod completely.

Disable auto quarantine. You can react to a virus warning yourself. Put the game in your exceptions list. Remove the quarantined file back to the intial place.

I actually thought AVG had changed that procedure - its sure worth a try nonetheless though!

Same here, Just try to Uninstall it. It's hacking your PC

You also should set the AV's options, like how to handle detected problems.

If it is doing this for known-safe things, u should such software to the AV's exception listing.

Then verify game cache for any effected games/tools in Steam to get back the missing files.
