unless you have more information its hard to say. its either a false positive or you have malware on your system that's trying to get outbound through steam's bulit int browser

I scanned my pc manually and there was nothink problem. Today my premium trial turned off because of time limit for 2 weeks. That happened yesterday.

Open Mbam and check the notification and/or detection history.

It was Real time protecion (RTP) alarm. While I was playing The Forest that's all. I scanned and eveythink was okay so there shouldn't be problem I guess but I'm not sure and afraid

ok so basically I did 2 scans using malwarebytes and windows defender and there was no problems. There's no some strange ads or other problems with steam so I dont think so that somethink infected my steam.

Try scan with a different AV product. could be malware, an issue with malwarebytes, false positive, bug in the game (or a feature), bug in steam

Malwarebytes may have detected suspicious incoming packets.

That communicate happened only once, that would happened again (I guess) if that would be some malware. I don't have how to check it cuz my premium has been turned off but ok I can chec kwith other AV

I mean if somethink would be not ok, malwarebytes would just blocked it forever (not only once).
And I didn't add anythink from steam to some white list or to some safe program zone or sth, so iI't just propably false alarm... I will try some other AV. Anyways if that would be malware, what should I do? Change password to steam and other stuff? Or just factory reset? I guess it can't get my password without doing other stuff like going to my search engine or checking what am I clicking on keyboard.

Depends on what it is, and whether it was fully blocked or not.. if it was a keylogger or redline stealer / infostealer then definitely change all passwords from a clean device, probably reformat, reinstall and start fresh.

From the sounds of it, it was probably just a 1 time glitch, bug, or something. It was blocked in the first place, so if it was something serious, you would probably get some more detections or something more noticeable.
