Another loving steam virus

[Private McDoggy]

I just decline every friend request from people with private profiles, level 1-3, or I don't have any friends in common

We need to make an infected list and quarantine them.

[Nal]

You are handicapped.
Since anyone can get infected, even best friends, that doesn't instantly classify them as "not worth your time" or "handicapped".

I stand corrected

[Freek]

I stand corrected

hah

Most drive-by-download attacks often have some sort of method of auto-executing the downloaded file via an exploit. I'd imagine this is the case here as well.

No, I think they typically require the user to open/execute the file.

id suggest emailing this to valve/any important anti-virus company

[Rockinboy2000]

well they made another variant of it!!



i wouldn't suggest trying to search that up

[Momentum]

jerkynero just sent me this lol

[Sitrus]

I clicked an old version of this but my antivirus and browser both stopped it.
And then I ran Malwarebytes and cleaned everything that was there.
Should be fine.

[Obliviongate20]

this is why i don't click on ambiguous image links

or accept friend requests from random people

[Ipquarx]

Link redirects to a russian federation site
I don't suggest typing it in

[Honno]

So im pretty sure the .scr file doesnt automatically run, you have to open it itself, amirite?

[Hansome duded]

Considering that most viruses hunt after valuables, all you really have to do is turn your backpack private and the steam virus shouldn't be a threat, just don't click any links.

I suggest keeping profiles private, they won't bother with you if they don't know if you're worth their time.

Since it's a bot I am positive it just messages everyone in the infected's friend-list without discriminations.
A virus is more humane than humans. Everyone gets messaged.
