Steam is somehow infecting my computer with spyware. WTF!!!

[Zip]

Something is wrong with steam, I dont know if its steam its self or if something has attached itself to it on my computer or something but every time i open up steam i get a whole heap of pop up advertisements come up using Internet explorer and i get the exact same thing when i close steam aswell.

Im not talking about steams normal ads, im talking about ones that come up saying "You computer is at risk, Please click here to scan it" and "Click here to get free mobile phone ring tones"

WTF is causing this and how do i kill it?

Please move this to the windows forum if you think its in the wrong place

Thanks all.

Ill try the hijack this thing in a minute

Could this be a security flaw in steam?
I know steam havnt down this deliberately and knew it was something that was something that latched it self onto the steam thing on my computer, i just thought it to be od and frustrating.
Its weird because when MSN uses IE to open emails up i dont get any spywear jumping out at me then, it just seems to be coming from when ever steam is used

Owell, ill have a check soon. Spybot doesnt seem to find anything thats causing it

Just open up task mgr , find a process which is running that you don't recognise , then google it and when you find the blighter , it will tell you where the reg key value is for this spyware delete that and you should be all done

Thanks

Ill do that as oon as i get some sleep

Use SpyBot S&D and/or AdAware (and/or any other antispyware software you have.)

I tryed them all and got nothing

Zip just do the task bar thing. 9 times out of 10 even if adaware spy bot etc does find them ,it doesn't delete the exe or the reg key, so it then just re loads it self when you open up explorer.

What do i have to do to get the Task Msr up? I assume you type something in Run?
