Mr_Whippy Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Are you sure it's FM? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCIAG Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Can you upload the image to photobucket or similar please, some of the adverts on the website you chose are a bit dubious. Though you might not need to upload them again really. You're not actually getting a virus, it's just that a lot of anti virus programs mistake Steam's behaviour for the behaviour of a computer virus. False positive.

Wiitastic Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 it's clearly not a virus, I suggest closing your anti virus until the update has finished downloading Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekman Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 You should also set up your anti virus software so that when its scanning it ignores the fm & steam folders which I think would help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phidelta42 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I use avast and had something similar a while back, steam seems to generate 'false positives.' That or its the work of the devil as some would suggest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 bad antivirus program. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Cant imagine it is a true virus as we would all have heard about it- as was said above, some antivirus applications can pick up the wrong signals from a programme and this looks like one of those.
