I wanted to download the game "steep" with steam and got a false positive virus alert by avira on the file "shadercontainer_engine_win64_f.dll". avira quarantined it - so I set exclusion rules for the file and tried again. for some reason steam could not create a file with the same name.
I tried for myself - I couldn't create the file as well. I deleted the folder which was containing the download. restarted the download - same problem.
so somehow avira seems to be able to block a file or a filename which doesn't even exist. it seems to block them for future uses - even if you excluded them in the scan- and search-rules.
any ideas how i could get rid of this weird file(-name) blocking issue with avira?
I am on a windows 10 PC, btw.

@SiXandSeven8ths like i said - i can't even create a file with the same name on my own anymore. and of course i tried disabling avira. – northkildonan – 2016-11-18T19:57:39.757
