Hey, has ANYBODY gotten the weird Russian Phish email?

[Bonk Nickeltoon]

I have gotten twice, gotten my items stolen from it TWICE and I fear that it might happen a third time. This time, however; I reset all my passwords and switch my emails.

But you do need to carry your disinfecting out EXACTLY as I state here. It's not just a case of downloading Malwarebytes. If you don't carry these steps out precisely, you stand chance of getting nowhere fast, as your account will still be compromised.

(1) Run your antivirus suite's INTENSIVE scan, in Windows safe mode if you can. Let it run (it will take some time, maybe 40 minutes or more) and remove any rubbish. Reboot. Run it again and if it removes nothing further, proceed to step (2). If it does remove further stuff, reboot and do it again.
(2) Download and run Mallwarebytes' Antimalware. Let it run and remove any rubbish. Reboot when it's finished and run it again. If it removes nothing further, go to step (3). If not, reboot and do it again.
(3) ONLY NOW should you change your passwords to your associated email address and your Steam account.
(4) Tell everyone on your friends list that you've been infected and to look out for bogus links from you. If they've clicked on them, send them here. That is if you clicked a link but if you were scammed then it's a different story.

Lastly, to repeat, you MUST DO THESE STEPS PRECISELY IN ORDER or changing your passwords will serve no purpose. If there's mallware left, you'll just tell the scammer your new details. Just changing your email isn't gonna make a difference you need to do these scans first. Cuz you never know! Don't fall for it again.

1. Your profile is private, so why should I trust you?

2. Did all that already a week ago. Also, the new Steam mobile security is out and I changed my inventory settings so that only MY FRIENDS can trade me.

Also, I have been trying to get rid of this "AntiAdblocker" thing for over a week. Do you think THAT might have something to do with it?

How do you fall for the same thing twice?

I didn't. I never even clicked on ANY links.

Because it's solid advice, and his profile being set to private has nothing to do with what he posted at all?

I am a noob at this. Where can I find the "Anti-virus" for the first step?

You have been given some very good advice which is glaringly logical to anyone with a shred of common sense in online security. You should have actioned this the first time you were phished. Also your logic about private profiles is equally as flawed as your internet saftey - it's bizarre that you trust random links littered with malware but don't trust contructive and detailed advice.

Depends on which one you want. There are many free antivirus programs you can download, like Panda Antivirus, Avast, AVG, AVIRA, etc. Just google 'best antivirus 2015' and take your pick. Just don't use McAfee.

Which one do you use?

Norton Internet Security.

Oh cool! Valve actually just fixed my problem with the phone to account security. Also, just did everything you asked and it also got rid of my adward BS.

Thank you so much!

Have you ran anti-malware software? Many anti-viruses can't detect deep-rooted malware which you've probably got riddled on your system still. Download and run Malwarebytes from their website to be completely safe.

We've seen so many users get burned thinking their PC is secure only to come back months later and find out all their personal information was swiped along with their Steam account depsite their respective anti-virus programs not detecting anything.

Already have it from awhile back, and it works like a charm!
