Is Internet Download Manager an ad-supported software or right away malware?

Anyway, please post a screenshot of your IDM download list before opening Steam and after opening Steam. You can use imgur.com for this, it's very easy. Just drag the images you made directly into the browser window - done. Then paste the URL here.

Nah, It's not a maleware. It's trusted.
See for yourself.

Btw, The download list changes depending on me being logged into steam or not?
It's only asking for me to download it, it's not downloading the files by itself..

What do you mean by "get downloads"? How is this a problem?
If there is a problem can't you just shut down that software?
If it messes or captures steams downloads somehow then that might be bad, let steam handle its own downloads.

Even if i click ''Exit'' From the IDM, it still turns itself on and makes me download stuff...it just suddenly happened, i didn't have that problem before...

Sounds like a IDM problem, uninstall or ask the authors of the program for help.
