Trojan horse?
About 1 hour ago I noticed, that in my gaming library there appeared game, that by statistic I played it for 30 minutes (but I didn't), when I clicked on shop page, nothing revealed. The game was named Spacewars and what I had read, it's some kind of trojan horse virus. I absolutely don't get it, how it get in my gaming library. For be sure, I improved security of my account.

Have anyone same experience?

Spacewar is not a trojan. On Steam it's used in three ways:
  1. Steamworks uses it as a demonstration depot to teach developers how to integrate Steamworks features.
  2. Some games and mods use it as a cheap hack for tracking and networking features.
  3. Pirated games use it to spoof Steam DRM.
If you "saw it suddenly", you fall into 2 or 3.
