I know, thats what i meant. Steam has warnings and people ignore it. Those people would either ignore warnings from additional 'trust' programs or wouldn't get them in the first place. Some people are just too stupid/greedy to be helped.
Steam hacked ?

ahi thought you meant the writing att he top of the chat box.
It also has a pop up saying "don't enter your steam details into this site" >.>
Well i meant both. You can't help some people.
I've seen it before, hilarious but in all likelyhood, made up. No way would a real scammer be that stupid.

i remember this. I think it was a kid who tried to scam someone out of their details and then it backfired lol.
The one exception (er, besides Steam Support).

dont use nod32 it lets through malware and my account got hacked for 24 hrs,i dont accept links and im aware of phising,bitdefender picked up a lot of stuff that nod32 failed to pick up.there was somebody on this forum in the antivirus thread that did a test with nod32 and certain types of malware that it let through,not to mention the intrusion prevention is crap on it,i dont even think its firewall works and it definitely does not hide all ports as i tested this myself and it failed..nod 32 overrated...use it at your peril!
The thing is, unless its an OFFICIAL Steam site it always brings up the warning. Yet people willingly log into sites with Steam details that it warns against.
What do you mean 'it always brings up the warning'? What does?
*read- download dodgy porn at your peril*
...the whole topic of this thread?
steam does.
If you get sent a link to a non secure steam poage in chat a pop up says "this is not a steam site and may be a phishing attempt do not enter your details"
i dont download pawn mate as i have access to the real thing
Makes on wonder just wtf you where dling to get the keylogger for steam then
Usually the game/steam specific ones are in UI replacements (Wow) or hacks
No it's just generic, if you click a link to any site at all that isn't a Valve/Steam domain it will warn you not to type your details into it. It could be www.steamstealers.com or www.bbc.co.uk.

Perhaps it was whatever he downloaded to give him the worlds only PC capable of anti aliasing via drivers in GTAIV

Well I have been using steam since almost day one. Never had a problem. I rarely have any resident AV at all, it just gets in the way.
I do run malwarebytes every so often (no threats for quite a while) and it seems to me that you only need AV if you are a pirate, a prolific midgit porn junkie, a compulsive link clicker, like buying low cost electrical products from Chinese websites or downloading l33t h4x to ruin other peoples games
in seriousness people need to take more responsibility for their online assets. OMG xxx HAS BEEN HAXED!!!1! usually translates to "I put my password into a phishing site"
just my 2p. No trolling intended
