Steam being flaged as a Miscuous software or a virus

Thread needs solution

Today when I turned on my computer Acronis Home Office keep  Quarantining files in steam home directory.

The only work around I found it to Uninstall what's left of steam. Restart the computer disable Acronis untill next reboot. Reinstall Steam, reboot then opening Acronis  Quarantine folder and restore all the files it moved.

Now I got to reconnect all my steam libraries over 6 diferent drives for more than. 25 TB of storage. 

Is there something I'm missing? To why this happon?

Please see KB 60193: Acronis True Image 2018, 2019 and 2020: Active Protection blocks legitimate applications where you need to add Steam to the AAP exclusions to prevent them from being blocked / quarantined.
