Unkown "friend" in friends list

[ManOnChair]

Hey guys!

I was just wondering if it´s possible to add youself to someone´s else friends list without being accepted?

Because:
When i started up Steam today I had an unkown person in my friends list. This person wasnt a friend of my friends nor did I ever accept his/her friend request?!
The person had no games in his/her account, but had about 200 friends.

I deleted this person.

So my question ist:
How is this possible? Steam guard is enabled, no email for "new access"-acceptance has been sent to my mail account (which is also 2-step protected). Am I at any risk? I dont think my account was hacked to add herself to my friend list....

How someone can help me clarify the issue.

Thx!

Its an infected users/bots.
If you are infected by clicking a link,immideatly install some anti malware and anti spyware.
Never accepct invites from private profiles.
And if its public for some reason,its infected user rather than a bot.

Anti-male ware is installed, I never accepted his/her friend request.
The user had no games in his account, but about 200 friends.

I just wanna now: How is it possible this person appears on my friend list, when I never accepted the request? I m using steam on just ONE pc and there were no steam activations on any other pc (no acces code was sent to my mail) until I did so last time.
My computer seems clear (scanneed every folder in paranoid mode), I didnt accept any friend request within like the last year and of course I dont even think of accepting one of any unkown person....

[pfft woosh]

dude, i think thats was ur telling about is ur friend who u removed but doesnt reply u so it commonly appear in ur friend list as un known

So this is a steam issue and has got nothing to do with my personal security?

Whats also curious is the fact this person was online about 150days ago.

Googled him/her and found things like TF2 transactions etc...

Could you please translate your replay into English? ;)
Google translater aint a real help

No, "friends" don't just pop up without you doing anything (but "you" could, of course, be some malware on your box hijacking your Steam).

One thing that sometimes causes confusion is that accepting a gift from another user automatically adds that user as a friend. Which makes sense to some extent, but gifts aren't just used between friends so it can also cause confusion.

"Last online" doesn't mean much, as that just tracks the Steam client. Logins via the website don't count as "online".

Also, being a "friend of a friend" doesn't mean anything, just like in real life. There's the whole thing about "an enemy of my enemy must be a friend" thing, but no such "rule" can be applied to the people my friends know.

Ah ok, so this guy could have sent me a game via mail?
Are gifts accepted and added via e-mail also related to those "automatic friend-addition"? I was gifted a humble bundle game by the user of a computer-forum who didnt need it. He sent me that via mail and I accepted it (some months ago).

But then he wasnt on my list, but today this person was...?!
(my friends list is very, very short so i can check it by one click)

And it wasn't just a name-change of a friend you already have?
