Beware of Virus link in Main Steam Platform

[Mama mo]

hello everyone, I just found out steam client have a link thats when pressed it sends you in a page and downloads this stuff "Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml" (which I don't really know what for, though as google says it is a virus to get information)

I am willing to tell the issue for free as it may be pressed by other steam users but I'm hoping that someone might give me something

[Bonus!]

Yeah so as far as I know Trojan is something that pretends to be good but tricks your pc because it is actually bad.

if you know your history the Trojan horse was a gift (I think for the Greek's or something I don't remember) and it was this giant wooden sculpted horse but it was actually an ambush.

Also which client?

You haven't found anything other than the fact that your over-zealous anti-virus software detects a false positive.

Still that's scary to think about. I have Steam running the moment my PC turns on for the day. So all day long my PC is vulnerable. Good thing it was fake.

You have alot of trade things in your profile page, OP. Perhaps someone tried to do a fake trade with you in the past and sent you that file with the trade?

Fake trades can happen. Usually it involves people trying to steal your trading item, but perhaps they also sent you a suprise on one of them?

nope, it is in the store haha. I pressed it and it directed me in a website then I thought it was legit as it was from store of steam but it downloaded a file and defender blocked it. I also deleted the file and did not open it.

First, you dont trust a new website based on where you pressed the link.

But that aside, you clicked a link on steam store and it got you on a page. What was the link for?
What store page?

Your system was already infected with malware. The malware is injecting itself into chrome sessions

Steam doesn’t have malware. Your preinfected system is surfacing the malware in hijacked web sessions

They were talking about some of your groups that are advertising third-party sites for trading. They are scam sites.
