A lot of not native speakers do this, in German most things are male or female instead of neutral, for example protection (male), detector (male), alert (male) or catastrophe (female).

Avast endlessly fucks up, this is a rule. I remember when it globally declared steam to be a virus, and eventually it turned out that it was completely wrong.
You can do two things.
1: You trust yourself and Steam enough to make chrome.exe and alike an exception in Avast (If you can do that)
2: You simply leave the game alone for now and write a ticked to steam support about it.
That's all I have to say.

Maybe, but the problem is that we don't have a way to know.

You have a way. Just upload your "infected" files to VirusTotal.

Yup, the AV has probably mistaken Chrome.exe for the browser instead of the game.

Basically, you can tell Avast to ignore that one file, so you can freely run it without it making your PC spazz out.

Bloody Good Time had a similar issue with several different anti-viruses and anti-malware programs.
High chance it is a false positive though. Sadly its one of those things where you wont know for sure.. Its part of the reason why I do not have it installed anymore. ( Heck.. its been long enough since I played it, that I have actually picked up a whole new PC since then.. lol.. )

Well mate, the chances are either you or someone else downloaded some nasty virus, from what your saying it could NOT be the game being infected with a virus in the first place since Avast notified you one week after installing the game. I had a similar story, the game is free to play "World of Battles", my antivirus Avast Premier notified me that the game has spyware installed with it so me being paranoid the way I am I uninsulated the game and scanned the whole computer, it came up to be true as many people have found this problem. however since you have played the game for a week I believe that someone or you have downloaded a virus by probably mistake and it infected your game.

UPDATE: I just check a site called Virustotal that checks the file with every anti-virus to see what do they detect. It said none of them detected an infection, including Avast!, which is odd since i updated Avast! to the latest version. Thanks everybody for your replies!

Welp, a while ago i bought a somewhat old-school FPS game called Chrome and Chrome: Specforce for $2 because i had nothing else to do and it was on sale. I played it for some hours, and i really liked it. The story is cheesy and voice acting is really bad, but it's enjoyable. Point is: 1 Week later, i've started the game through steam. It brought up the launcher, and i clicked Chrome singleplayer. It took it's time to launch then suddenly "Avast!" (My current anti-virus) came up and said that the Chrome.exe file is infected and it was moved to the vault. A virus? In a steam game? I thought Avast! was being drunk, and i tried launching the multiplayer. Same story. It said ChromeMulti.exe is infected and was moved to vault. I've tried launching it later, and it won't even show up in the tast manager (on the prosses tab) I don't know what to do. Should i ask for a refund? (even though steam has a policy against it) Or what? I want to launch Chrome specforce but i'm afraid it will happen with it too.
