Clean the malware off of the computer, change your passwords and contact support. You have been phished. The others are spamming and trolling.

Have you clicked a fake screenshot (Exploited SCR file) link? That is a trojan virus, known as MSIL/Stimilik or similar... Steam game item stealer. It's stage one could spam out to your friends list to attempt to infect more.

If this is the case, warn your friends not to click the link.

Boot into safemode (F8 upon PC startup) to prevent the trojan running in background.

Use Spybot or similar malware removal tool:

Use both Full scan and Rootkit scan. It might take a while, but will return quite a lot. Check threat levels and remove high risk, or just clean out the lot.

Contact Steam Support once clean, in regards to any missing items:
