Greenlight link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=507518962
The download link sends you to an Auto download page, with a .rar file. Setup.exe creates AutoIt v3 scripts that run in the background, turn your webcam on and all sorts.

This also Rated the game on Greenlight, Favourited and even left a positive comment under my Steam profile.
After catching on, the virus took a hold of my computer, and locked access to my desktop asking for a password given by an administrator. The first message saying "MalwareVirus Detected". After restarting, my desktop was corrupt, everything was gone. I tried to gather information, but I was locked out a few seconds later. The message changed to: "Nope." The malware also added onto my Steam profile description: "Proud supporter of the Dynostpoia gameplay beta trials! Get your beta trial now!"

I advise you heavily NOT to fall into this as stupidly as I have, and I ask for you assistant and/or anything in regards to what I could do.

This is why Greenlight shouldn't exist. stuff like this and Journey of the Light gets past the loving filter.
EDIT: Should mention the Greenlight page doesn't work.



This is definitely not a reason to scrap greenlight, this IS however a reason to actually loving moderate and quality-check and check to make sure stuff works properly and isn't malware like this.

what kind of a stuff game needs to hijack a consumer's computer to make it look like people like it

I can't believe our king and ruler gaben would let this happen

Or that there are people out there that make things like this

The sort where there is no game, just a virus that wants to be shared to as many people as possible.

all this tells me is that the game has malware, but nothing about what is actually is. it seems like people are going off about how it's malware but nobody actually cared enough about that game before now to take a picture
