Fixed.

Anyone remember the Coughing Exploit on GMOD a few years back?
If you had it you would spam *Cough Cough* ingame and to everyone on steam. Also anyone who joined your game through steam would also get it, it was a literal virus.
That was pretty funny in hindset, but terrifying and annoying at the time.
