I Need Help!

[Edwardvaughn_4 0]

Hello friends. I have been suffering from an issue with my Steam. After installing ESET NOD32 Antivirus, “Steam is showing missing file privileges” error. For which I can't install any game on Steam. Guys, I don’t know why this is happening and how to fix this issue. Can anyone provide any suggestions? It will be greatly appreciated.

Does pausing real-time protection or disabling it completely in the advanced setup make a difference?

I couldn't find anything that states this issue could be related to anti-virus solutions. -EDIT- Correction. I did find a thread stating issues with Webroot: https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/1291817837623597768/.

Appears Eset in the past has blocked Steam connections: https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/0/1735465524697066766/#c1735465524697098660 , but this instance doesn't appear to be related to a "missing file permissions" issue.

Here's a couple references on how to fix the missing file permissions issue:

Thanks for replying. I already solved my problem from here. The game was corrupted somehow.
