steamwebhelper.exe
something is wrong with steam webhelper.exe and if you use windows defender that involves being equivically alt+tabbed out of your game like 3 or 4 times per session so steam can open a new web helper and windows defender can scan it..... fix this so my system doesn't have to face risk to spyware and viruses that could target your software pleeeeeeeease....

please someone respond, Malwarebytes also blocked steamwebhelper.exe in a Process, with IP, 5.9.99.35, Domain: savepic.su, Port 58542 when I clicked the game The District, (in the steam aplication)
- I also found this on another user Ark-07 "My firewall blocked spyware three times for that site, firstly act of aggression is amazing and two go play your kickstarter that will fail and dont come back. Oh yes learn to spell also.Malicious Website Protection, IP, 5.9.99.35, savepic.su, 58524, Outbound, C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe "
- I am afraid its an "Vawtrak malware" - "HTTP request from the infected host: 5.9.99.35 – savepic.su " citated from " http://www.rackspace.com/blog/malicious-email-campaign-spreads-vawtrak-malware/ " and here " https://www.virustotal.com/en/ip-address/5.9.99.35/information/ "
- links are safe.
- Please STEAM investigate this :)

this is the only similar message, with interest for us all since the virus is a credit/debit card data steal, or is false/positive, thats why I wrote here to be more than one with the same issue.
- and I am not seeking help, others are not protected.
- and seems that Ark-07 ( the message I copied) is infected.

sorry, it wasn't windows defender that was minimizing my game, it was spybot search and destroy..... but i've since upgraded to windows 10, and it seems to be better since then, i can see 4 web helpers now, but they aren't closing and opening like before.
