I never ever turn off my AV program for any game...have never needed to. ( No problems with Steam either)
Now adays if you turn off your AV...your also turning off your Firewall...
If you have a decent AV program you shouldn't have to turn it off or down for any program.
If you have to....get a different AV ( you get what you pay for )
Remember every 10 seconds your computer is being attacked !
Never turn off your AV .......!!!.....ever....
Steam should have given you another option ( opening a port etc ) then the lame old excuse..." It's your AV program "
Sounds like someone was too lazy to help...

Haha, I don't have AV software or any anti-malware software for that matter, and I never get viruses, you only have to know what you are doing, visiting, etc.
I do a monthly scan with my other computer and my PC it's always completely clean.
