I never seem to have had much luck with Steam, now when I try to load CoD I'm getting all sorts of problems.

1) I keep having AVG pop up with a virus threat warning, Win32/Heur, that is linked to Steam, unless I turn of the Steam process in my Windows control panel then it just won't go away.

2)I understand there is a patch to CoD, approx 50mb, why does steam appear to be downloading the whole fu$**%g game from steam and refusing to let me play.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The following link helped me avoid the 4Gb download :

You'll also need to set exceptions for the false positive files in AVG.

That's how I got it to run.

Cheers

Ditch AVG mate.

Get maybe Avira or similar.

I used AVG for years and I finally ditched it for similar reasons.
